Merle Haggard – Cherokee Maiden (Guitar)

Em 
One night when the moon was bright and the moonlight glade

                                B7 
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden

Em 
The memory of that night of love is lingering yet

A7                      D7
And I know I never will forget

          G                  A7           D7                 G
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.

             B7                      Em
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.
