One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
F7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
A#m
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
D#7 G#7
And I know I never will forget
C# D#7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
G#7 C#
Even though we're far apart
D#7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
G#7
For anybody else's heart
F7 A#m
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
D#7
And I'll carry her away with me
C# A#7 D#m F#m
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
C# A#7 G#7 C#
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
G#7 C# D#7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
G#7 C#
Even though we're far apart
D#7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
G#7
For anybody else's heart
F7 A#m
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
D#7
And I'll carry her away with me
C# A#7 D#m F#m
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
C# A#7 G#7 C#
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
