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,
