D  G  D  A7  D

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
                      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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
                                  G
At the all day Sunday singing and dinner on the ground
D                               A7
Many were the souls that were revived
         D                                   G
While my brothers and my sisters who've gone on to glory land
         D            A7              D
Slept in peace in the maple grove nearby

[Chorus]
                       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
