Little Mountain Church House
Written by Carl Jackson and Jim Rushing

Intro: D, G, D, A7, D

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 & narrow way
          D                    A7           D
For what few coins the congregation could afford

 

(2)
 D                                                     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
Chorus: 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

(3)
 D                                               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 piece in the maple grove nearby
Chorus:
