There's a village hidden deep in the valley

Among the pine trees half forlorn

And there on a sunny morning
D MajorD   G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
Little Jimmy Brown was born

So his parents took him to the chapel

When he was only one day old
A augmentedA    D MajorD
And the priest blessed the little fellow
     G+G   A augmentedA   D MajorD           G+G
Welcomed Jimmy to the fold (Baum baum baum baum)

G+G
All the chapel bells were ringing
G+G          D MajorD
in the little valley town
D MajorD                  D7D7
And the song that they were singing
D7D7         G+G
was for baby Jimmy Brown

And the little congregation
B7B7             E minorEm
  prayed for guidance from above

 "Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"

"Guide him with eternal love"

D MajorD
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
  G+G    D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD
Beneath the mountains high above
D MajorD
And there, twenty years thereafter
   G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
Jimmy was to meet his love
D MajorD                 G+G
Many friends were gathered in the chapel

And many tears of joy were shed

In June on a Sunday morning,

Jimmy and his wife were wed. (Baum baum baum baum)

All the chapel bells were ringing,
G+G            D MajorD
'twas a great day in his life
D MajorD                  D7D7
for the song that they were singing
D7D7           G+G
was for Jimmy and his wife

And the little congregation
B7B7             E minorEm
 prayed for guidance from above
A minorAm           G+G               D7D7
 "Lead us not into temptation, bless with us this celebration"

"May their lives be filled with love"

D MajorD
From the village hidden deep in the valley
  G+G   D MajorD    G+G    D MajorD
One rainy morning dark and gray
D MajorD
A augmentedA soul winged its way to heaven
   G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Jimmy Brown had passed away
D MajorD               G+G
Silent people gathered in the chapel
  E7E7            A augmentedA
To say farewell to their old friend
   D MajorD
Whose life had been like a flower
     G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD          G+G
Budding, blooming till the end (Baum baum baum baum)

Just a lonely bell was ringing
G+G           D MajorD
in the little valley town
D MajorD                  D7D7
and the song that they were singing

was for good old Jimmy Brown (little Jimmy Brown)
