The Old Country Church

The Statler Brothers

G                                    C          G

There's a place near to me where I'm longing to be

        Em                         D7

With my friends at the old country church

           G                      C            G

There with mother we went and our Sundays were spent

        Em                         G

With my friends at the old country church

Chorus

                                   D7                G

Precious years of memories oh what joy they bring to me

How I long that place to be

        G              D7          G

With my friends at the old country church

                                    C         G

As a small country boy how my heart beat with joy

       Em                       D7

When I knelt in the old country church

        G                   C         G

And the Savior above by His wonderful love

         Em          D7          G

Saved my soul in the old country church

Chorus

                                     C        G

Of't my thoughts make me weep for so many now sleep

         Em                          D7

In their graves near the old country church

                   G             C              G

And sometime I may rest with the friends I love best

     Em             D7          G

In a grave near the old country church
