[Verse 1]
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.
