Shady Grove  (Key of C) (no Capo)
AmShady Grove, Gmy little love
AmShady GrGove I sAmay
CShady Grove, Gmy little love
I'm bAmound to Ggo aAmway
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest little girl in town
I wish I had a big fine horse
And corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone
Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockins in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor
When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife
Kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this old world
That's prettier than mine

Shady Grove (Key of C) (no Capo)

Am G

Shady Grove, my little love

Am G Am

Shady Grove I say

C G

Shady Grove, my little love

Am G Am

I'm bound to go away

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose

And eyes are the prettiest brown

She's the darling of my heart

Sweetest little girl in town

I wish I had a big fine horse

And corn to feed him on

And Shady Grove to stay at home

And feed him while I'm gone

Went to see my Shady Grove

She was standing in the door

Her shoes and stockins in her hand

And her little bare feet on the floor

When I was a little boy

I wanted a Barlow knife

And now I want little Shady Grove

To say she'll be my wife

Kiss from pretty little Shady Grove

Is sweet as brandy wine

And there ain't no girl in this old world

That's prettier than mine
