Tom: D

     D              G            D
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
               G                A
There's a place that I love so well
       D            G          D
Where I spent many days of my childhood
                    A7         D
In the cabin where we loved to dwell

               G         D
White dove will mourn in sorrow
               G            A
The willows will hang their heads
              G          D
I'll live my life in sorrow
                 A7         D
Since mother and daddy are dead

               G            D
We were all so happy there together
                G           A
In our peaceful little mountain home
                   A7             D
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
                   A              D
Now they sing around the great white throne

               G               D
As the years roll by I often wonder
                     G       A
If we will all be together someday
                     G                  D
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
                       A7         D
Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray
