One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit glade
That is where I found my [Eb] little Cherokee [G] maiden
[Cm] The memory of that night of love is lingering yet
[F] And I know I never will [Bb] forget
My little [Eb]
Cherokee maiden, [C] I love her so
[Bb]
And though we're far [Eb] apart
I know I'll never betray [F] my love [F] for her
Or anybody else's heart
[Bb] Someday [G] I'll make a trip back [C] to that Cherokee strip
And I'll carry her away [F] with [B] me
[Eb] Straight as an [C] arrow, fly [Fm] as a blue-eyed jack [Ab]-o'-lantern
Or die as [Eb] my sweet little chickadee
My little [Bb] Cherokee maiden, [Eb] and me, right on!
Yes, sir!
