Sing Me Back Home
Merle Haggard

(G) The warden led a (D) prisoner, 
down the (C) hallway to his (G) doom,
I stood up to say goodbye, like all the (D) rest,
I (G) heard him tell the (D) warden, 
just (C) before he reached my (G) cell,
Let my guitar playin' (D) friend do my (G) request,

Chorus:

Won't you sing me back (D) home, 
with the (C) songs I used to (G) hear,
Make my old memories come (D) alive,
(G) Take me (D) away, and (C) turn back the (G) years,
Won't you sing me back (D) home, before I (G) die,


I recall last Sunday (D) mornin', 
a (C) choir came off the (G) street,
Came in to sing a few old gospel (D) songs,
I (G) heard him tell the (D) singers,
there's a (C) song my mamma (G) sang,
Could I hear it once (D) before you move (G) along,

Repeat Chorus
