The Old Country Church

Jerry Lee Lewis

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

D7 G
Precious years of memories oh what joy they bring to me
C
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

repeat #2
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
