[Verse 1]

E                            A
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia

         E              B7
There's a place I love so well

       E                     A
Where I spent many days in my childhood

      E          B7          E
In the cabin where we used to dwell

[Chorus]

E                       A
White dove will mourn in sorrow

   E           B7          E
The willows will hang their head

E                A
I live my life in sorrow

     E         B7         E        E A E B7
Since mother and daddy are dead

[Verse 2]

E                         A
We were all so happy there together

      E                B7
In our peaceful mountain home

       E            E7      A
But the saviour needs angels up in heaven

        E           B7        E
Now they sing around the great white throne

[Chorus]

E                       A
White dove will mourn in sorrow

   E           B7          E
The willows will hang their head

E                A
I live my life in sorrow

     E         B7         E
Since mother and daddy are dead

[Banjo solo] E E7 A E B7 [Mandolin solo] E E7 A E B7 E [Verse 3]

E          E7         A
As the years roll by I often wonder

       E                B7
Will we all meet together someday

        E       E7        A
And each night as I wander through the graveyard

        E       B7             E
Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray

[Outro]

E                       A
White dove will mourn in sorrow

   E           B7          E
The willows will hang their head

E                A
I live my life in sorrow

     E         B7         E
Since mother and daddy are dead

E                A
I live my life in sorrow  

   E         B7               E
Since mother and daddy are dead
