I tabbed this to match my intro tab for this song

Capo 2


    G            D                 C              G
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
        G                              D
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
      G                  D             C                  G
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
       G              D              G
Let my guitar playing friend do my request.'


Chorus:
        G            D           C              G
Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
G                          D
Make my old memories come alive
G        D       C             G
Take me away and turn back the years
G            D             G
Sing me back home before I die


I recall last Sunday morning, a choir from off the street
came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang"
Could I hear once before you move along'

Chorus

G            D             G 
Sing me back home before I die
