There's a Gchurch in the valley by the Dwildwood
No lovelier D7spot in the GdaleG7
No Cplace is so dear to my Gchildhood
As the Dlittle brown D7church in the Gvale
Oh, Gcome, come, come, come
Come to the church in the Dwildwood
Oh, come to the D7church in the GdaleG7
No Cspot is so dear to my Gchildhood
As the Dlittle brown D7church in the Gvale
How Gsweet on a clear Sabbath Dmorning
To list to the D7clear ringing GbellG7
Its Ctones so sweetly are Gcalling
Oh, Dcome to the D7church in the Gdale
Oh, Gcome, come, come, come
Come to the church in the Dwildwood
Oh, come to the D7church in the GdaleG7
No Cspot is so dear to my Gchildhood
As the Dlittle brown D7church in the Gvale
There, Gclose by the church in the Dvalley
Lies one that I D7loved so GwellG7
She Csleeps, sweetly sleeps, 'neath the Gwillow
DisDturb not her D7rest in the Gvale
Oh, Gcome, come, come, come
Come to the church in the Dwildwood
Oh, come to the D7church in the GdaleG7
No Cspot is so dear to my Gchildhood
As the Dlittle brown D7church in the Gvale
There, Gclose by the side of that loved Done
'Neath the trees where the D7wild flowers GbloomG7
When the Cfarewell hymn shall be Gchanted
I shall Drest by her D7side in the Gtomb
Oh, Gcome, come, come, come
Come to the church in the Dwildwood
Oh, come to the D7church in the GdaleG7
No Cspot is so dear to my Gchildhood
As the Dlittle brown D7church in the Gvale
From the Gchurch in the valley by the Dwildwood
When day fades aD7way into GnightG7
I would Cfain from this spot of my Gchildhood
Wing my Dway to the D7mansions of Glight
Oh, Gcome, come, come, come
Come to the church in the Dwildwood
Oh, come to the D7church in the GdaleG7
No Cspot is so dear to my Gchildhood
As the Dlittle brown D7church in the Gvale
