The Old Country Church chords by Tyler Childers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

  G                  C     G
There's a place dear to me where I'm longin' to be
                  D
With my friends at the old country church
      G            C     G
There with mother we went, and our Sundays we spent
     G       D      G
With our friends at the old country church



Chorus:

Precious years of memories
     D        G
Oh, what joy they bring to me
            C
How I long once more to be
     G       D      G
With my friends at the old country church

Verse:

                C        G
As a small country boy, how my heart beat with joy
               D
As I knelt in the old country church
G              C     G
And the savior above in his wonderful love
           D      G
Saved my soul at the old country church


Chorus:

Precious years of memories
     D        G
Oh, what joy they bring to me
            C
How I long once more to be
     G       D      G
With my friends at the old country church


Verse:

                C       G
How I wish that today all the people would pray
                D
As we prayed in the old country church
      G          C      G
If they'd only confess, Jesus surely would bless
         D      G
As we did in the old country church


Chorus:

Precious years of memories
     D        G
Oh, what joy they bring to me
            C
How I long once more to be
     G       D      G
With my friends at the old country church


Verse:
                 C      G
Oh, my thoughts make weak for so many now sleep
                  D
In that grave near the old country church
   G              C      G
May I rest with my friends in that grave in the end
           D      G
In the grave near the old country church


Chorus:

Precious years of memories
     D        G
Oh, what joy they bring to me
            C
How I long once more to be
     G       D       G
With my friends at the old country church
