Cherokee Maiden
Performed by Merle Haggard
Em
One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
                                B7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
Em
The memory of that night of love is lingering yet
A7                      D7
And I know I never will forget
          G                  A7           D7                 G
My little Cherokee Maiden, I love her so. And tho we're far apart,
D7          G                   A7                               D7
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her, For anybody else's heart.
             B7                      Em
Someday I'll make a trip back to the Cherokee Strip
                             A7
And I'll carry her away with me.
Cm       G         E7           Am                Cm
And straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to paradise,
   G                       E7                 Am7   D7   G
My sweet little chickadee, My little Cherokee Maiden and me.
