One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
C7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
Fm
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
A#7 D#7
And I know I never will forget
G# A#7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
D#7 G#
Even though we're far apart
A#7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
D#7
For anybody else's heart
C7 Fm
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
A#7
And I'll carry her away with me
G# F7 A#m C#m
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
G# F7 D#7 G#
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
D#7 G# A#7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
D#7 G#
Even though we're far apart
A#7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
D#7
For anybody else's heart
