[Intro] A D E A (x2) [Verse 1]
A
Mid the green fields of Virginia

       D
In the veil of Shenandoah

           E                            A
There’s an ivy covered homestead that I love

A
With it’s white old fashioned chimney

         D
And it’s simple homelike hours

        E                            A
Tis the home of my dear parents now above
[Chorus]
A
There’s a peaceful cottage there

                A
A happy home so dear

   E                                A
My heart is longing for them day by day

A
Where I spent life’s golden hours

       D
In the veil of Shenandoah

        E                              A
Mid the green fields for Virginia far away
[Instrumental] A D E A (x2) [Verse 2]
A
Mid the green fields of Virginia

          D
Stands an old mill by the stream

       E                                 A
I once wondered to that spot to sing and play

A
And how often I would throw the stone

  D
Into the pebbling brook

        E                            A
I would dream someday it’d carry me away
[Chorus]
A
There’s a peaceful cottage there

                A
A happy home so dear

   E                                A
My heart is longing for them day by day

A
Where I spent life’s golden hours

       D
In the veil of Shenandoah

        E                              A
Mid the green fields for Virginia far away
[Instrumental] A D E A (x2) [Outro]
A
There’s a peaceful cottage there

                A
A happy home so dear

   E                                A
My heart is longing for them day by day

A
Where I spent life’s golden hours

       D
In the veil of Shenandoah

        E                              A
Mid the green fields for Virginia far away
