Em
One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
B7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
Em
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
A7 D7
And I know I never will forget
G A7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
D7 G
Even though we're far apart
A7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
D7
For anybody else's heart
B7 Em
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
A7
And I'll carry her away with me
G E7 Am Cm
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
G E7 D7 G
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
D7 G A7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
D7 G
Even though we're far apart
A7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
D7
For anybody else's heart

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
A7
And I'll carry her away with me
