Verse 1

Am
One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade
                                E7
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
Am
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
      D7                G7
And I know I never will forget

Verse 2

          C                 D7
My little Cherokee maiden I love her so
G7                    C
Even though we're far apart
                                D7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
                   G7
For anybody else's heart

Verse 3

             E7                       Am
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
                             D7
And I'll carry her away with me
    C              A7          Dm                Fm
And straight as an arrow flies we'll ride to Paradise
   C                       A7                 G7         C
My sweet little chickadee  my little Cherokee maiden and me

My little Cherokee maiden I love her so

Even though we're far apart
                                D7
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
                   G7
For anybody else's heart

Verse 5

My sweet little chickadee  my little Cherokee maiden and me
