The Church in the Wildwood
4/4 time

G                                          D
There's a church in the valley by the wild wood,
                        G
No lovelier spot in the dale;
   C                      G
No place is so dear to my childhood,
       D7                         G
As the little brown church in the vale. 

Chorus:
G                              D7
Come to the church by the wild-wood,
                              G
Oh, come to the church in the vale,
   C                     G
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
       D7                         G
As the little brown church in the vale. 

G                                D
How sweet on a clear Sabbath mor-ning,
                               G
To listen to the clear ringing bells;
    C                    G
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
   D7                        G
Oh come to the church in the vale. 

Chorus

G                                     D
There, close by the church in the val-ley,
                         G
Lies one that I loved so well;
    C                                  G
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, 'neath the willow,
    D7                       G
Dis-turb not her rest in the vale. 

Chorus

G                                      D
There, close by the side of that loved one,
                                       G
'Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom,
     C                       G
When farewell hymns shall be chanted
        D7                      G
I shall rest by her side in the tomb.
