Cherokee Maiden
Recorded by Bob Wills written by Cindy Walker
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
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
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
G7 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
D7 G7
For anybody else's heart
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
