DmOne night when the moon was bright on a moonlit glade
That is where I found my little Cherokee E7maid
DmThe memory of that night of love is lingering yet
G7And I know I never will forget
My little CCherokee Fmaiden, I love her G7so
G7And though we're far aCpart
I know I'll Cnever be trading my love for G7her
For G7anybody else's Cheart
Someday I'll E7make a trip back to the AmCherokee strip
And I'll carry her away with D7me
And Cstraight as an A7arrow flies Dmwe'll ride to FmParadise
My Csweet little chickadee, A7my little Cherokee G7maiden and Fme
G7My little CCherokee maiden, I D7love her so
G7And though we're far aCpart
I know I'll never be trading my D7love for her
For anybody else's G7heart
Someday I'll E7make a trip back to the CAmherokee strip
And I'll carry her away with D7me
And Cstraight as an A7arrow flies Dmwe'll ride to FmParadise
My Csweet little chickadee, A7my little Cherokee G7maiden and Fme
