Verse

  E                  A     E
There's a place dear to me where I'm longin' to be
                  B7
With my friends at the old country church
      E            A     E
There with mother we went, and our Sundays we spent
     E       B7     E
With our friends at the old country church


Precious years of memory's
     B7        E
Oh what joy they bring to me
            A
How I long once more to be
     E       B7     E
With my friends at the old country church

Verse
                A        E
As a small country boy, how my heart beat with joy
               B7
As I knelt in the old country church
E              A     E
And the savior above in his wonderful love
           B7      E
Saved my soul at the old country church

Precious years of memory's
     B7        E
Oh what joy they bring to me
            A
How I long once more to be
     E       B7     E
With my friends at the old country church


Verse
                A       E
How I wish that today all the people would pray
                B7
As we prayed in the old country church
      E          A      E
If they'd only confess, Jesus surely would bless
         B7      E
As we did in the old country church


Precious years of memory's
     B7        E
Oh what joy they bring to me
            A
How I long once more to be
     E       B7     E
With my friends at the old country church


Verse
                A      E
Oh my thoughts make weak for so many now sleep
                  B7
In that grave near the old country church
   E              A      E
May I rest with my friends in that grave in the end
           B7      E
In the grave near the old country church

Precious years of memory's
     B7        E
Oh what joy they bring to me
            A
How I long once more to be
     E       B7       E
With my friends at the old country church
