Burrito Brothers Sing Me Back Home written by Merle Haggard
[C] [D]
[G]The warden led a [D]prisoner down the [C]hallway to his [G]doom
[G]I got up up to say good-bye like all the [D]rest
And I [G]heard him tell the [D]warden just [C]before he reached my [G]cell
[G]Let my guitar playing f[D]riend do my [G]request
[G]Won't you Sing me [D]back home with a [C]song I used to [G]hear
[G]Make my old memories come a[D]live
[G]Take me [D]away and [C]turn back the [G]years
[G]Sing Me Back [D]Home before I [G]die
SOLO
I [A]recall last Sunday [E]morning when a [D]choir came in from [A]town
And got up to sing a few old gospel [E]songs
Then I [A]heard him tell the [E]singers there's a [D]song my mama [A]sang.
Would you sing it just once [E]before we move [A]along
[A]Won't you Sing me [E]back home with a [D]song I used to [A]hear
[A]Make my old memories come a[E]live
[A]Take me [E]away and t[D]urn back the y[A]ears
[A]Sing Me Back [E]Home before I [A]die
