Dm C Shady grove, my true love Dm Dm Shady grove, my darlin' F C Shady grove, my little love Dm C Dm I'm going back to Harlan Dm C Peaches in the summertime Dm Dm Apples in the fall F C If I can't have the girl I love Dm C Dm I'll have no one at all Dm C I wish I had a banjo string Dm Dm Made of golden twine F C Every tune I'd play on it Dm C Dm Is I wish that girl were mine Dm C Some come here to fiddle and dance Dm Dm Some come here to tarry F C Some come here to fiddle and dance Dm C Dm I come here to marry Dm C I wish I had a needle and thread Dm Dm Fine as I could sew F C I'd sew my true love to my side Dm C Dm And down the road I'd go Dm C I wish I was a sweet apple Dm Dm Hanging from a tree F C And every time my love passed by Dm C Dm She'd take a bite of me Dm C I wish I had a big gray horse Dm Dm And corn to feed him on F C I wish I had a pretty little girl Dm C Dm To feed him when I'm gone Dm C I went to see my Shady Grove Dm Dm She was standing in the door F C Shoes and stockings in her hand Dm C Dm Little bare feet on the floor Dm C When I was a little boy Dm Dm I wanted a barlow knife F C Now I want little Shady Grove Dm C Dm To say she'll be my wife Dm C A kiss from little Shady Grove Dm Dm Is sweet as brandy wine F C There ain't no girl in this old world Dm C Dm That's pretti-er than mine
