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

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip

And I'll carry her away with me

And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
