[Verse 1]

E A
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
E B7
There’s a place I love so well
E A
Where I spent many days in my childhood
E B7 E
In the cabin where we used to dwell

[Chorus]
E A
White dove will mourn in sorrow
E B7 E
The willows will hang their head
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E E A E B7
Since mother and daddy are dead

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
E A
We were all so happy there together
E B7
In our peaceful mountain home
E E7 A
But the saviour needs angels up in heaven
E B7 E
Now they sing around the great white throne

[Chorus]

E A
White dove will mourn in sorrow
E B7 E
The willows will hang their head
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E
Since mother and daddy are dead

[Verse 3]
E E7 A
As the years roll by I often wonder
E B7
Will we all meet together someday
E E7 A
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
E B7 E
Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray

[Outro]

E A
White dove will mourn in sorrow
E B7 E
The willows will hang their head
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E
Since mother and daddy are dead
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E
Since mother and daddy are dead
