On [Fm] the [Eb] little [Ab] church where I've been [Bb] since I was [Ab] born _ _ _
And there [Eb] he stood, _ _ _
[Ab] a hearty [Db] _ smile
[Ab] You [Cm] _ [Fm] could hear his [Eb] voice [Ab] ringing [Bb] out for a country [Ab] mile

_ [Ab] _ _
But [Fm] it's as if [Eb] he [Ab] saved a child only [Bbm] to take his _ place
