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.

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.
