[Intro] E A E B7 E A E B7 E [Verse 1]
                            A
I am thinking tonight of an old cottage home

     E                         B7
That stands on the brow of the hill

         E                      A
Where in life’s early morning I once loved to roam

    E          B7        E
But now all is quiet and still
[Chorus]
                          A
Oh my old cottage home my old cottage home

     E                         B7
That stands on the brow of the hill

         E                      A
Where in life’s early morning I once loved to roam

    E          B7        E
But now all is quiet and still
[Instrumental] E A E B7 E A E B7 E [Verse 2]
                                 A
Many years have gone by since in prayer there I knelt

     E                        B7
With dear ones around the old hearth

       E                            A
But my mother’s sweet prayers in my heart still are felt

     E             B7        E
I’ll treasure them awhile on earth
[Chorus]
                          A
Oh my old cottage home my old cottage home

     E                         B7
That stands on the brow of the hill

         E                      A
Where in life’s early morning I once loved to roam

    E          B7        E
But now all is quiet and still
[Instrumental] E A E B7 E A E B7 E [Verse 3]
                                   A
One by one they have gone from the old cottage home

   E                          B7
On earth we shall see them no more

          E                       A
But we’ll meet them again on that beautiful shore

      E             B7         E
Where partings will come never more
[Outro]
                          A
Oh my old cottage home my old cottage home

     E                         B7
That stands on the brow of the hill

         E                      A
Where in life’s early morning I once loved to roam

    E          B7        E
But now all is quiet and still
