D                                          A
There’s a church in the valley by the wild-wood,

                         D
No lovelier place in the dale;

   G                     D
No spot is so dear to my child-hood,

       A                          D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Refrain] Oh, come come come come
D                                  A
Oh, come to the church in the wild-wood,

                          D
Come to the church in the dale,

   G                     D
No spot is so dear to my child-hood,

       A                          D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Verse 2]
D                                A
How sweet on a clear Sunday morn-ing,

                               D
To listen to the clear ringing bell;

    G                    D
Its tones so sweetly are call-ing,

    A                         D
Oh, come to the church in the dell.
[Refrain]
D
Oh, come, come, come, come...

                                   A
Oh, come to the church in the wild-wood,

                          D
Come to the church in the dale,

   G                     D
No spot is so dear to my child-hood,

       A                          D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Refrain]
D
Oh, come, come, come, come...

                                   A
Oh, come to the church in the wild-wood,

                          D
Come to the church in the dale,

   G                      D
No place is so dear to my child-hood,

       A                          D
As the little brown church in the vale.
[Outro]
    A                         D
Oh, come to the church in the wild-wood.
+++++++ ADDITIONAL VERSES (not sung by Dolly Parton) [Verse 3]
       D                              A
There, close by the church in the val-ley,

                         D
Lies one that I loved so well;

    G                                  D
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ’neath the wil-low,

    A                        D
Dis-turb not her rest in the vale.
[Verse 4]
       D                               A
There, close by the side of that loved one,

                                D
To trees where the wild flowers bloom,

         G                       D
When the fare-well hymn shall be chant-ed

        A                       D
I shall rest by her side in the tomb.
[Verse 5]
D                                         A
From the church in the valley by the wild-wood,

                         D
When day fades away into night,

        G                         D
I would fain from this spot of my child-hood

        A                      D
Wing my way to the mansions of light.
