Bob Wills - Cherokee maiden

^AmOne night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade That is where I found my little ^E7Cherokee maiden

^AmThe memory of that night of love is lingering here And I ^D7know I never will ^G7forget

My little ^CCherokee maiden I ^D7love her so ^G7Even though we're far ^Capart

I know I'll never be trading my ^D7love for her For anybody else's ^G7heart

Someday I'll ^E7make a trip back to that ^AmCherokee strip And I'll carry her away with ^D7me

And ^Cstraight as an ^A7arrow flies ^Dmwe'll ride to Para^Fmdise My ^Csweet little chickadee ^A7my little Cherokee ^G7maiden and ^Cme
