Verse 1
Oh, (D major) the warden led a (A major) prisoner
down (G major) the hallway to his (D major) doom
And I stood up to say goodbye
like all the (A major) rest
When I (D major) heard him ask the (A major) warden
if they'd (G major) let me sing a (D major) song
Could I sing him one
before (A major) he meets his (D major) death? (B minor)
(A major) Sing (D major) me back (A major) home the
(G major) song I used to (D major) hear
(A major) Make (D major) my old memories come alive (A major)
(D major) Take me away (A major) and (G major) turn back the (D major) year
Send me back (A major) home before I die (D major)
You know, I remember we were playing cards for cigarettes that day when
the (A major) guard came in and said (G major) that some people wanted to sing for us.
So we picked up our blanket
(D major) an d cigarettes
and we put them in our cells
and then we walked (A major) back
out to the bullpen
and there were four men
standing there
and one of them had a guitar in his (D major) hand
and they began to sing,
Amaz (A major) ing (D major) Grace,
how (G major) sweet the sound. (D major)
Well when they got through
I (G major) said, excuse me sir,
(A major) could I play your guitar
an (D major) d (G major) he said,
How will I get it in there to you?
And I said, just hold (D major) it up to the bars.
I'll stick my hands (G major) through the bars.
I'd like to do some songs
for (E minor) you that I wrote. (D major)
And later, when I was on death row,
(G major) one of the convicts in El
Block had a radio,
and he turned it up,
(D major) and it kind of reminded (A major) me of that day. (D major)
I recall last Sunday (A major) morning
when a (G major) choir from off the street (D major)
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs (A major)
And I (D major) heard him, I asked the (A major) singer,
Could I play (G major) your guitar please?
(D major) I'd (A major) (D major) like to do you one,
I (A major) wrote about my (D major) heart
And then I heard Merle Haggard
sing for the first (B minor) time
(A major) Sing (D major) me back (A major) on the
song (G major) I used to (D major) hear
Make my old memories come alive (A major)
Take (D major) me away,
(A major) and (G major) turn back the (D major) years
Sing me back (A major) home before I (D major) go
Send me back (A major) home, before I (G major) go
(D major)
