The Carter Family - In The Valley Of The Shenandoah



 ---(capo 3rd fret)---



(verse 1)
       D 
As we sit alone tonight, 

In the stillness of the night,
                  A             D
I picture happy scenes of long ago,

Of a maiden fair and bright,

Who is sleeping there tonight,
                       A         D
In the valley of the Shenandoah ridge,


(chorus)
       A                A7 
It was in the month of June,
           D
When the roses were in bloom,
        G              D              A-A7
When I held her in my arms and softly said,
        D
Darling in the coming spring,

I'll be coming back again,
                        A        D  
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge,



(verse 2)
        D
When I left her all alone,

In our Shenandoah home,
                        A               D
She promised she'd be waiting there for me,

But the angels came along,

And took her from our home,
                         A          D
From the valley of the Shenandoah ridge,


(chorus)
       A                A7 
It was in the month of June,
           D
When the roses were in bloom,
        G              D              A-A7
When I held her in my arms and softly said,
        D
Darling in the coming spring,

I'll be coming back again,
                        A        D  
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge,


(verse 3)
When the evening shadows fall,
In memory I recall,
A pledge when giving her a ring,
Darling in the coming spring,
I'll be coming back again,
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge,

 
(chorus)
       A                A7 
It was in the month of June,
           D
When the roses were in bloom,
        G              D              A-A7
When I held her in my arms and softly said,
        D
Darling in the coming spring,

I'll be coming back again,
                        A        D  
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge,
