[Verse]
          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
   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

[Instrumental]
C   G7   C   F/A  C  G7  C

[Verse 2]
    C                           G7
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
   G7                          C
To listen to the clear ringing bell
    F                    C
Its tones so sweetly are calling
   G                         C
Oh come to the church in the dale

[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

[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
   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
