The Three Bells (The Browns)(1959)

 There's a village hidden deep in the valley 
   G      D            G      D 
Among the pine trees half forlorn and there on a sunny morning
        G               D    (NOTES: D     E     F#)   G
Little Jimmy Brown was born        (bung, bung, bung, bung)


                           G                            D
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
                                                         G
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
                             B                           Em
Then the little congregation   prayed for guidance from above
C                        G                              D
  "Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
                         G
"Guide him with eternal love"

Beneath the mountains high above and there, twenty years thereafter

Jimmy was to meet his love         (bung, bung, bung, bung)


                           G                                 D
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
                                                              G
'cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
                             B                           Em
Then the little congregation   prayed for guidance from above
C                       G                                D 
  "Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration"
                                 G
"May their lives be filled with love"


D                     
  From the village hidden deep in the valley
     G     D       G         D
One rainy morning dark and gray a soul winged its way to heaven
       G                 D    (NOTES: D     E     F#)   G
Jimmy Brown had passed away         (bung, bung, bung, bung)


                        G                            D
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
                                                         G
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown
                            B                           Em
And the little congregation   prayed for guidance from above
C                        G                                D
  "Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation"
                       G
"Of thy great eternal love"
