Sing Me Back Home
Merle Haggard

    A            E                 D              A
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
A                                       E
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
      A                  E              D                 A
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
A                      E               A
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request.' (Let him...)

CHORUS:
A            E           D              A
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
A                          E
Make my old memories come alive
A        E       D             A
Take me away and turn back the years
A            E             A
Sing Me Back Home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning a choir came in from town
Just to sing a few old gospel song
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.
Can I hear once before we move along?'

CHORUS
[A            E             D - A]
[Sing Me Back Home before I die  ]
