G
Beyond this maze of city streets beyond these painted faces
                             
There's a road that leads to cool green fields 
    D7                  G
And girls that dress in laces
                             
Everyone has a front porch swing every house a parlor 
        
When the throat is dry an' parched with thirst
        D7                    G
There's more than just spring water

                                                         
Shady Grove my little miss Shady Grove my darlin'
                           D7              G
Shady Grove my little miss come with me to Harlan


Chestnut hair in the mornin' sun looks like it's on fire
                                    D7                G
She's long she's lean she won't run she fills me with desire

Kentucky eyes look up at me from a bed of yellow daisies
                                D7                   G
The sun is warm her kiss is hot she's gonna drive me crazy

                           F              D7
Shady Grove my little miss Shady Grove my darlin'
G                          D7              G
Shady Grove my little miss come with me to Harlan
                           F              D7
Shady Grove my little miss Shady Grove my darlin'
G                          D7              G
Shady Grove my little miss come with me to Harlan
