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