'Sing Me Back Home' by Merle Haggard - Guitar Tutorial

             G                  D7            
The warden led a prisoner  
          C                G       
Down the hallway to his doom 
                                        D7       
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest 
   G                    D7          
I heard him tell the warden  
      C                      G       
Just before he reached my cell 
                       D7             G          
Let my guitar playing friend do my request 
  
                      D7        
Let him sing me back home  
          C                 G       
With the songs I used to hear 
                           D7        
Make my old memories come alive 
 G         D7         C            G        
Take me away and turn back the years 
                      D7            G      
Let him sing me back home before I die 
  
                      D7           
I recall last Sunday morning  
   C                    G         
 A  choir came off the street 
                                  D7        
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs 
   G                    D7          
I heard him tell the singers 
           C               G       
There's a song my mamma sang 
                      D7                G        
Could I hear it once before you move along
