Live at the Fillmore, San Francisco, California, USA, February 1969 Lyrics and Music by Merle Haggard Features Clarence White and Gene Parsons [Intro] A A E E A E A A [Verse 1]
A                    E                 D              A
The warden who led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom

A                                         E
And I got up to say, goodbye like all the rest

E      A                  E           D                      A
When I heard him tell the warden just before they reached my cell

A                     E            A
Let my guitar playing friend do my request
[Chorus]
A                    E           D              A
Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear

A                         E
Make my old memories come alive

A           E        D             A
And gake me away and turn back the years

A            E             A
Sing me back home before I die
[Instrumental--Electric Guitar] A A E A A A D D A E D A A E A A [Verse 2]
A                      E          D                  A
I remember last Sunday evening, a choir from off the streets

A                                     E
They came in to sing a few old gospel songs

E     A                 D                  D            A
And I heard him ask the singers, there's a song my mama sang

A                      E               A
Won't you sing it once before you move along?
[Chorus]
E         A            E                          D
Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear?

A                         E
Make my old memories come alive

E   A       E        D             A
And take me away and turn back the years

A            E             A
Sing me back home before I die

E         A            E             D   D  A
won't you sing me back home before I die?
