[Verse 1]
A
There's a village hidden deep in the valley

 D        A          D       A
Among the pine trees half forlorn

    A
And there on a sunny morning

D                      A
Little Jimmy Brown was born

                                  D
So his parents brought him to the chapel

     B7                  E
When he was only one day old

A                                 D
And the priest blessed the little fellow

                     A
Welcome Jimmy to the fold
[Chorus]
                          D
All the chapel bells were ringing

                     A    A7
In the little valley town

                             A       A7
And the songs that they were singing

                   D     G D
Was for baby Jimmy Brown
[Verse 2]
A
There's a village hidden deep in the valley

  D         A         D    A
Beneath the mountains high above

    A
And there twenty years thereafter

D                     A
Jimmy was to meet his love

                                  D
Many friends were gathered in the chapel

    B7                     E
And many tears of joy were shed

   A                 D
In June, on a Sunday morning

                              A
When Jimmy and his bride were wed
[Chorus]
                          D
All the chapel bells were ringing

                         A
T’was a great day in his life

                             A7
For the songs that they were singing

                      D    G D
was for Jimmy and his wife
[Verse 3]
A
There's a village hidden deep in the valley

    D     A       D        A
One rainy morning dark and grey

  A
A soul winged its way to heaven

D                       A
Jimmy Brown had passed away

                              D
Silent people gathered in the chapel

   B7                        E
To say farewell to their old friend

A                          D
Whose life had been like a flower

                         A
Budding, blooming to the end
[Chorus]
                         D
Just the lonely bell was ringing

                     A    A7
In the little valley town

                           A       A7
T'was farewell that it was singing

                      D     G D
To our good old Jimmy Brown

               D            F#7
And the little congregation

                          Bm
Prayed for guidance from above

Em                   D
Lead us not into temptation

                        A7
May his soul find God's salvation

                     D
Of Thy great eternal love

G   D
