Dm
One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
A7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
Dm
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
G7 C7
And I know I never will forget
F G7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
C7 F
Even though we're far apart
G7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
C7
For anybody else's heart
A7 Dm
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
G7
And I'll carry her away with me
F D7 Gm A#m
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
F D7 C7 F
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
C7 F G7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
C7 F
Even though we're far apart
G7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
C7
For anybody else's heart
A7 Dm
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
G7
And I'll carry her away with me
F D7 Gm A#m
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
F D7 C7 F
My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me
