The Old Country Church Chords

[Verse]
          D                          G          D
There's a place dear to me where I'm longin' to be
                                   A7
With my friends at the old country church
           D               D/F#    G          D
There with mother we went, and our Sundays we spent
                        A           D
With our friends at the old country church
 
[Chorus]
         D
Precious years of memory's
         A7                D
Oh, what joy they bring to me
                        G
How I long once more to be
        D              A7          D
With my friends at the old country church
 
[Verse]
     D                         G               D
As a small country boy, how my heart beat with joy
                              A7
As I knelt in the old country church
        D                   G         D
And the savior above in his wonderful love
                     A7          D
Saved my soul at the old country church
 
[Chorus]
         D
Precious years of memory's
         A7                D
Oh, what joy they bring to me
                        G
How I long once more to be
        D              A7          D
With my friends at the old country church
 
[Verse]
      D                       G            D
How I wish that today all the people would pray
                                A7
As we prayed in the old country church
          D                   G            D
If they'd only confess, Jesus surely would bless
                 A7          D
As we did in the old country church
 
[Chorus]
         D
Precious years of memory's
         A7                D
Oh, what joy they bring to me
                        G
How I long once more to be
        D              A7          D
With my friends at the old country church
 
[Verse]
       D                         G        D
Oh, my thoughts make weak for so many now sleep
                                   A7
In that grave near the old country church
      D                            G            D
May I rest with my friends in that grave in the end
                      A7          D
In the grave near the old country church
 
[Chorus]
         D
Precious years of memory's
         A7                D
Oh, what joy they bring to me
                        G
How I long once more to be
        D              A7          D
With my friends at the old country church
