   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
