D                                      G 
There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday 
      D                                   A7 
Where friends and family gathered for the Lord 
         D                                 G 
There an old fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow way 
         D                    A7           D 
For what few coins the congregation could afford 

(2) 
                                         G 
Dressed in all our Sunday best we sat on pews of solid oak 
      D                                  A7 
And I remember how our voices filled the air 
          D                              G 
How momma sounded like an angel on those high soprano notes 
         D                 A7             D 
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there 

 
                      D7              G 
Looking back now that little mountain church house 
      D                     A7 
Has become my life's corner stone 
       D             D7              G 
It was there in that little mountain church house 
        D                   A7            D 
I first heard the word I've based my life upon
