Billy often picks between notes where most instrumentalists might hammer-on
[Intro] | Dm C | Dm | F C | Am Dm | [Verse 1]
Dm                 C
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose

    Dm                     Dm
And eyes are the prettiest brown

F                  C
She's the darling of my heart

Am                      Dm
Sweetest little girl in town

Dm          C
If I had a big fine horse

         Dm               Dm
And the grain to feed him on

     F                 C
Then Shady Grove could stay at home

    Am                 Dm
And feed him while I'm gone
[Chorus]
Dm           C
Shady Grove, my little love

Dm            Dm
Shady Grove I say

F            C
Shady Grove, my little love

     Am          Dm
I'm bound to go away
[Solo] | Dm C | Dm | F C | Am Dm | [Verse 2]
  Dm                      C
A kiss from pretty little Shady Grove

   Dm               Dm
Is sweet as brandy wine

     F                   \  C
And there ain't no girl in this old world

       Am            Dm
That's prettier than mine

Dm             C
Went to see my Shady Grove

Dm                      Dm
She was standing in the door

    F                    C
Her shoes and stockin's in her hand

         Am                     Dm
And her little bare feet on the floor
[Chorus]
Dm           C
Shady Grove, my little love

Dm            Dm
Shady Grove I say

F            C
Shady Grove, my little love

     Am          Dm
I'm bound to go away
[Solo] | Dm C | Dm | F C | Am Dm | [Verse 3]
Dm           C
When I was a little boy

Dm                Dm
I wanted a Barlow knife

    F                 C
And now I want little Shady Grove

   Am               Dm
To say she'll be my wife

Dm             C
Peaches in the summertime

Dm            Dm
Apples in the fall

   F               C
If I can't have my Shady Grove

Am                   Dm
I don't want none at all
[Chorus]
Dm           C
Shady Grove, my little love

Dm            Dm
Shady Grove I say

F            C
Shady Grove, my little love

     Am          Dm
I'm bound to go away
