Carter Family - In The Valley Of The Shenandoah Chords

[Intro]
F
 
 
[Verse 1]
F
As we sit alone tonight
F
In the stillness of the night
                C               F
I picture happy scenes of long ago
F
Of a maiden fair and bright
F
Who is sleeping there tonight
                     C          F
In the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
It was in the month of June
         F
When the roses were in bloom
       Bb             F               C
When I held her in my arms and softly said
        F
Darling in the coming spring
F
I’ll be coming back again
                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
 
 
[Instrumental]
F C F  (x2)
 
 
[Verse 2]
F
When I left her all alone
F
In our Shenandoah home
                      C                 F
She promised she’d be waiting there for me
F
But the angels came along
F
And took her from our home
                       C          F
From the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
 
 
[Chorus]
       C
It was in the month of June
         F
When the roses were in bloom
       Bb             F               C
When I held her in my arms and softly said
        F
Darling in the coming spring
F
I’ll be coming back again
                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
 
 
[Instrumental]
F C F  (x2)
 
 
[Verse 3]
F
When the evening shadows fall
F
In memory I recall
              C            F
A pledge when giving her a ring
F
Darling in the coming spring
F
I’ll be coming back again
                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
 
 
[Outro]
       C
It was in the month of June
         F
When the roses were in bloom
       Bb             F               C
When I held her in my arms and softly said
        F
Darling in the coming spring
F
I’ll be coming back again
                     C          F
To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
