The Little Green Valley

G7  C


[Verse 1]
C                   F                        C
I see a candlelight down in the little green valley
              G7                               C
Where Morning Glory vines are twining round my door
         C                        F                        C
Oh how I wish I were there again, down in the little green valley
                G7                                C
That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more
             F                            C
There's only one thing ever gives me consolation
               C                                   G7
And that's the thought that I'll be going back someday
          C                         F                         C
And every night down upon my knees, I pray the Lord to please take me
             G7                           C
Back to that little old green valley far away

[Verse 2]
C                    F                        C
I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley
             G7                             C
He's singing out a song of welcome just for me
            C                         F                        C
And someone waits by the garden gate, down in the little green valley
           G7                            C
When I get back again how happy she will be
         F                                     C
And by a little babbling brook once more we'll wander
         C                                 G7
And in a shady nook we'll dream the hours away
           C                          F                         C
And I will leave all my cares behind, go where I know I'll find sunshine
             G7                          C
Back to that little old green valley far away
