White Dove (Stanley Bros.) written by Carter Stanley
Valley Park, Mo 080408
Banjo tuned E, No Capo Key of D
VG note: Live at McClure's Album also has this song in Key of E
In th[D]e deep rolling [G]hills of old [D]Virginia
There's a place[G] that I love so w[A]ell
Where I[D] spent many d[G]ays of my c[D]hildhood
In the cabin where w[A7]e loved to [D]dwell
White dove will[G] mourn in [D]sorrow
The willows wil[G]l hang their [A]heads
I'll live my l[G]ife in sorr[D]ow
Since mother and [A7]daddy are d[D]ead
We were all so [G]happy there t[D]ogether
In our peaceful [G]little mount[A]ain home
But the Savior need[A7]s angels up in [D]heaven
Now they sing aroun[A]d the great whi[D]te throne
As the years ro[G]ll by I often wo[D]nder
If we will all be tog[G]ether so[A]meday
And each night as I w[G]ander through the g[D]raveyard
Darkness finds me as I [A7]kneel to pr[D]ay
