^GWhen I was but a boy ^Cin days of childhood^{G D}I use to play 'til evening shadows come^G Then winding down an old ^Cfamiliar pathway^{G D}I'd hear my mother call at set of the sun^G

^CCome home, come ^Dhome, it's supper^Gtime ^DThe shadows lengthen fast^{G C}Come home, come ^Dhome, it's supper^Gtime We're ^Dgoing home at last^G

^GOne day beside her ^Cbedside I was kneeling^{G D}and angel wings were winnowing the air^G She heard the call for ^Csuppertime in Heaven^{G D}and now I know she's waiting foe me there^G

^CCome home, come ^Dhome, it's supper^Gtime ^DThe shadows lengthen fast^{G C}Come home, come ^Dhome, it's supper^Gtime We're ^Dgoing home at last^G

^GIn visions now I ^Csee her standing yonder^{G D}and her familiar voice I hear once more^G The banquet table's read^Cy up in Heaven^{G D}It's suppertime upon the Golden Shore^G

^CCome home, come ^Dhome, it's supper^Gtime ^DThe shadows lengthen fast^{G C}Come home, come ^Dhome, it's supper^Gtime We're ^Dgoing home at last^G
