G:320003

Verse 1:

G D
There’s a church in the valley by the wildwood
D7 G
No lovelier spot in the dale
C G
No place is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale

Chorus:

G
Oh, Come, Come, Come, Come
D
Come to the church in the wildwood
D7 G
Oh, come to the church in the dale
C G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
D D7 G
As the little brown church in the vale

Verse 2:

G D
How sweet on a clear, Sabbath morning
D7 G
To list to the clear ringing bell
C G
It’s tones so sweetly are calling
D D7 G
Oh, come to the church in the dale

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:

G D
There, close by the church in the valley
D7 G
Lies one that I loved so well
C G
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ’neath the willow
D D7 G
Disturb not her rest in the vale

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4:

G D
There, close by the side of that loved one
D7 G
To trees where the wild flowers bloom
C G
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
D D7 G
I shall rest by her side in the tomb

Repeat Chorus

Verse 5:

G D
From the church in the valley by the wildwood
D7 G
When day fades away into night
C G
I would fain from this spot of my childhood
D D7 G
Wing my way to the mansions of light

Repeat Chorus
