E B
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
B7 E
No lovelier place in the dale
A E
No spot is so dear to my childhood
B E
As the little brown church in the dale
[Verse 2]
E B7
How sweet, on a clear Sabbath morning
E
To listen to the clear ringing bells
A E
Its tones, so sweetly, are calling
B7 E
Oh, come to the church in the vale
[Chorus]
E
Oh, come, come, come, come
B7
Come to the church in the wildwood
E
Oh, come to the church in the dale
A E
No spot is so dear to my childhood
B E
As the little brown church in the vale
B B7 E
[Verse 3]
E B
There, close by the church in the valley
E
Lies one that I loved so well
A E
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, 'neath the willow
B7 E
Disturb not her rest in the vale
[Verse 4]
E B
There, close by the side of that loved one
B7 E
'Neath the trees where the wild flowers bloom
A E
When the farewell hymns shall be chanted
B7 E
I shall rest by her side in the tomb
[Chorus]
E
Oh, come, come, come, come
B7
Come to the church in the wildwood
E
Oh, come to the church in the dale
A E
No spot is so dear to my childhood
B7 E
As the little brown church in the vale
