Merle Haggard – Sing Me Back Home (Guitar Intro)

    D            A                 G              D
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom

D                                       A
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest

      D                  A              G                 D
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell

D                      A               D
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request.' (Let him...)

D            A           G              D
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear

D                          A
Make my old memories come alive

D        A       G             D
Take me away and turn back the years

D            A             D
Sing Me Back Home before I die

    D            A                 G              D
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from up the street

D                             A
Came in to sing a few gospel songs

      D                A             G                 D
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.

D                A               D
Can I hear once before we move along?'

D            A             G - D
 Sing Me Back Home before I die
