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

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip

And I'll carry her away with me

And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
