[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
Dm 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
[Bridge]
