F#m
One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
C#7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
F#m
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
B7 E7
And I know I never will forget
A B7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
E7 A
Even though we're far apart
B7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
E7
For anybody else's heart
C#7 F#m
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
B7
And I'll carry her away with me
A F#7 Bm Dm
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
A F#7 E7 A
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
E7 A B7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
E7 A
Even though we're far apart
B7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
E7
For anybody else's heart
C#7 F#m
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
B7
And I'll carry her away with me
A F#7 Bm Dm
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
A F#7 E7 A
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
