          C                               G7
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood,

   G7                    C    
No lovelier place in the dale

   F                     C   
No spot is so dear to my childhood

       G7                         C
As the little brown church in the dale
[Chorus]
   C
Oh come, come, come, come

C                             G7
Come to the church in the wildwood

How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning

   G7                          C
To listen to the clear ringing bell

    F                    C
Its tones so sweetly are calling

As the little brown church in the dale
[Verse 3]
      C                            G7
There close by the side of a loved one

           G7                           C
’neath the trees where the wild flowers bloom

    F                               C
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps ‘neath a willow

   G                        C
Disturb not her rest in the tomb
[Chorus]
   C
Oh come, come, come, come

C                             G7
Come to the church in the wildwood

   G7                        C
Oh come to the church in the dale

   F                     C
No spot is so dear to my childhood

       G7                         C
As the little brown church in the dale
[Chorus]
   C
Oh come, come, come, come

C                             G7
Come to the church in the wildwood

Oh come to the church in the dale

No spot is so dear to my childhood

As the little brown church in the dale
