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

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
