There’s a church in the val ley by the wild (F)wood, no love li er (F7)spot in the (Bb)dale.
No (Eb)place is so dear to my (Bb)child hood as the (F)lit tle brown (F7)church in the (Bb)vale.
Oh, come, come, come, come, come (Eb)to the (Bb)church in the wild (F)wood, oh, come to the (F7)church in the (Bb)vale.
No (Eb)spot is so dear to my (Bb)child
hood as the (F)lit tle brown (F7)church in the (Bb)vale.
Oh, (C)come to the church in the (G)wild
wood, to the (G7)trees where the wild flow ers (C)bloom,
where the (F)part ing hymn will be (C)chant
ed; we will (G)weep by the (G7)side of the (C)tomb.
Oh, come, come, come, come, come (F)to the (C)church in the wild
(G)wood, oh, come to the (G7)church in the (C)vale.
No (F)spot is so dear to my (C)child
hood as the (G)lit tle brown (G7)church in the (C)vale.
