Carter Family - The Church In The Wildwood


    (capo 3rd fret)



(verse 1)
             G                          D
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
              D7          G
No lovelier place in the dale
     C                     G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
         D                         G
As the little brown church in the dale


(chorus)
G                               D
Oh, come to the church by the wildwood
                  D7           G
Oh, come to the church in the dale
    C                       G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
         D                         G
As the little brown church in the dale 


(verse 2)
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bell
It's tones so sweetly are calling
Oh, come to the church in the dale


(chorus)
G                               D
Oh, come to the church by the wildwood
                  D7           G
Oh, come to the church in the dale
    C                       G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
         D                         G
As the little brown church in the dale 


(verse 3)
There, close by the side of a loved one
Neath the trees where the wild flowers bloom
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the tomb


(chorus)
G                               D
Oh, come to the church by the wildwood
                  D7           G
Oh, come to the church in the dale
    C                       G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
         D                         G
As the little brown church in the dale 


(chorus)
G                               D
Oh, come to the church by the wildwood
                  D7           G
Oh, come to the church in the dale
    C                       G
No spot is so dear to my childhood
         D                         G
As the little brown church in the dale
