CAPO 5
[Intro]
G  C  G
[Verse]
GMama, CI hear you calling Gtonight
GYour old song, Ccalling me in for the Gnight
In the Gtall grass, Cdown from the trees where I've Gclimbed
The Gday is gone, the birds Csing their last songs in the Gpines
I Chear your voice calling by the Amback door light
It Greaches as Cfar as I Emroam
It's Ccalling me G/F#all the way Ghome
[Verse]
GMama, the dCarkness is falling so Gfast
GSomehow, I Cthought the day would always Glast
GAnd I am afraid as CI walk alone in the Gnight
GFollowing the Csound of your voice by the Glight
Your Csweet voice is calling by the Amback door light
It Greaches as Cfar as I Emroam
It's Ccalling me G/F#all the way Emhome
It's Ccalling me G/F#all the way Emhome
CCalling me G/F#all the way Ghome
[Outro]
GMama, the Cnight is so long and so Gdeep
Won't you Gstay a while, Cstay with me here till I Gsleep
