[Verse 1]
[D]Many [A]years[D]
[A]ago[D],
[G]in days of chi[D]ldhood,
I [A]used to play till evening shadows [D]come,
[A]Then [D]winding down
an [G]old familiar [D]pathway,
I [A]heard my mother call, and said [D]of son,
Come [G]home, come [Gm]home,
it's supper [D]time
The [A]shadows lead them [D]past
Come [G]home, [Gm]come home,
it's supper[D]time
We're [A]going home [D]at last
[G]Some of the fondest memories
[Gm]of my childhood were woven
around [D]suppertime
As the shadows grew long in the evening
[A]and the birds started [Bbdim]to
wing their way [A]home,
I knew it wouldn't be long un
[D]til my mom would call
from the back steps of the
old home place.
Come [G]on home, son, it's sup[Gm]per time.
Well, sir, it didn't [D]take much persuasion
to get we hungry children
to pull in our kites,
[A]put up our toys
and start for home.
But those days are gone [D]now,
but the memory of them begin
to weave a truth into the water of my [A]soul
[D]that [Gm]is even more [G]thrilling than the
memory [Gm]of those childhood days.
[D]For I'm sure, and it won't be long,
until we hear the suppertime call
from the [Em]portals of [A]glory,
and then we'll put away
the things of this life
as we did [D]when we were children,
and heed the call
for the greatest suppertime
[Gm]of t[G]hem all,
with [Gm]all of God's children,
and [D]with Jesus.
