Church In The Wildwood Tab par William S. Pitts

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
