[Verse 1]
    A              E
The warden led the prisoner
         D              A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Down the hallway to his doom
   A                  Asus4            E    B7    E7
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
      A                  E
And I heard him tell the warden
       D                    A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Just before they reached my cell
          A           E7               A      A    E
Let my guitar playin' friend sing my request
 
 
[Chorus]
A            E      D              A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Sing me back home a song I used to hear
A           A              E    B7    E7
Make my old memories come alive
A        E       D             A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Sing me away and turn back the year
A            E      E7     A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Sing me back home before I die
 
 
[Verse 2]
    A                E
I recall last Sunday morning
         D                   A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
When the choir from off the street
     A            Asus4          E    B7    E7
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
      A                  E
And I heard him tell the singers
          D              A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
There's a song my mother sang
        A              E        E7     A      A    E
Could I hear it once before you travel on
 
 
[Chorus]
A            E      D              A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Sing me back home a song I used to hear
A           A              E    B7     E7
Make my old memories come alive, come alive
A        E       D             A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A
Sing me away and turn back the year
A            E      E7     A    Asus4  A  Asus2  A      A      E
Sing me back home before I die

Love it! Merle with more fun! And played by the boys who first walked me down the hallway. Philly 1973, made into a Dave’s Picks a few years ago. Nice work Ddemes! It’s a nice arrangement for keys.
