[Intro] F [Verse 1]
F
As we sit alone tonight

F
In the stillness of the night

                C               F
I picture happy scenes of long ago

F
Of a maiden fair and bright

F
Who is sleeping there tonight

                     C          F
In the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
[Chorus]
       C
It was in the month of June

         F
When the roses were in bloom

       Bb             F               C
When I held her in my arms and softly said

        F
Darling in the coming spring

F
I’ll be coming back again

                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
[Instrumental] F C F (x2) [Verse 2]
F
When I left her all alone

F
In our Shenandoah home

                      C                 F
She promised she’d be waiting there for me

F
But the angels came along

F
And took her from our home

                       C          F
From the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
[Chorus]
       C
It was in the month of June

         F
When the roses were in bloom

       Bb             F               C
When I held her in my arms and softly said

        F
Darling in the coming spring

F
I’ll be coming back again

                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
[Instrumental] F C F (x2) [Verse 3]
F
When the evening shadows fall

F
In memory I recall

              C            F
A pledge when giving her a ring

F
Darling in the coming spring

F
I’ll be coming back again

                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
[Outro]
       C
It was in the month of June

         F
When the roses were in bloom

       Bb             F               C
When I held her in my arms and softly said

        F
Darling in the coming spring

F
I’ll be coming back again

                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
