Chords

As recorded by J.J. Cale (From the 1992 Album NUMBER 10) [Intro] Gm7 [Verse 1]
Gm7
Down the road, and up the hill

Gm7
Round the bend, and behind the mill

Gm7
When just a kid I used to go

Gm7
To a place called shady grove

Gm7
That is where I first met her

Gm7
She changed my life with one just one word

Gm7
She called it love but I don't know

Gm7
I call it goin' down to shady grove

Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove

Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
[Interlude] Gm7 [Verse 2]
Gm7
Sometimes we'd steal away at night

Gm7
All the same the feel was right

Gm7
There was no city, there was no town

Gm7
'cause shady grove was all around

Gm7
We'd just lay down look up and see

Gm7
The vast expanse of the old, old tree

Gm7
When our love had turned to lust

Gm7
Shady grove would cover us

Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove

Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
[Interlude] Gm7 [Verse 3]
Gm7
No one would ever come by

Gm7
We were young and very shy

Gm7
It seemed to wrap around us both

Gm7
The place we called shady grove

Gm7
Not long ago to my surprise

Gm7
I seemed to have to go back

Gm7
I went back to that same old spot

Gm7
The trees were gone - it's a parking lot

Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove

Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
[Outro]
Gm7
  Shady grove, shady grove

Gm7
In the middle of shady grove

Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove

Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
Gm7
