Gm
One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
D7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
Gm
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
C7 F7
And I know I never will forget
A# C7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
F7 A#
Even though we're far apart
C7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
F7
For anybody else's heart
D7 Gm
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
C7
And I'll carry her away with me
A# G7 Cm D#m
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
A# G7 F7 A#
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
F7 A# C7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
F7 A#
Even though we're far apart
C7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
F7
For anybody else's heart
D7 Gm
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
C7
And I'll carry her away with me
A# G7 Cm D#m
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
