[Am]
[A] Cheeks as red as a [Bm] blooming [Am] rose, eyes [Em] as dark as brown.
[C] She's the [Em] darling of my heart, sweet little [Am] thing in town.
Shady [Em] Grove, my little [A] love, Shady [Em] Grove I say.
[C] Shady [G] Grove, my little love, I'm bound to [Am] go away.
Well I went to [Em] see my little Shady [Am] Grove, she was standing in the [Em] door.
[G] With shoes and socks in her hand, her little bare [Am] feet on the floor.
Shady [G] Grove, my little [Am] love, Shady [Em] Grove I say.
[C] Shady Grove, [G] my little love, I'm bound to [Am] go away.

Now when I [Em] was a little bitty [Am] boy, I wanted me a bottle [Em] knife.

Said Shady [G] Grove, my little [Am] love, Shady Grove [Em] I say.
[C] Shady [G] Grove, my little love, I'll go [Am] away.
There's peaches [G] in the summertime, there's apples [Em] in the fall.
[C] If I can't [Em] have the one I love, I won't have none [Am] at all.

[Am] Well have you [Em] seen the morning polka, [Am] flying from mine [Em] to mine?
[C] She's moaning for [Em] her own true love, like I'm [Am] moaning for mine.
Singing Shady Grove, [G] my little [Am] love, Shady Grove [Em] I say.
[C] Shady Grove, [G] my little love, [Am] I'm bound to go away.
Said [Em] Shady Grove, my little love, [D] Shady Grove [Em] I say.
[C] Shady [G] Grove, my little love, [Am] I'm going away.
