Precious years, sweet memory
        E                 A
Oh what joy they bring to me
                        D
How I long once more to be
        A              E           A
With my friends at the old country church

[Verse 1]
                                     D          A
There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be
                                   E
With my friends at the old country church
           A                       D            A
There with mother we went, and our Sundays were spent
                       E           A
With my friends at the old country church
 
 
[Chorus]
A
Precious years, sweet memory
        E                 A
Oh what joy they bring to me
                        D
How I long once more to be
        A              E           A
With my friends at the old country church

[Verse 2]
                              D            A
How I wish that today all the people would pray
                               E
As they did in the old country church
          A                   D            A
If they'd only confess, Jesus surely would bless
                 E           A
As he did in the old country church
 
 
[Outro]
A
Precious years, sweet memory
        E                 A
Oh what joy they bring to me
                        D
How I long once more to be
        A              E           A
With my friends at the old country church
