Church In The Wildwood

	  		


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 



     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
