    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.

        A              A7             D
It was in the month of June, when the roses were in bloom,
        G              D              A A7
when I held her in my arms and softly sa…id,
          D
“Darling, in the coming spring I'll be coming back again
                       A        D
to the valley of the Shenandoah ridge".

            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.

        A              A7             D
It was in the month of June, when the roses were in bloom,
        G              D              A A7
when I held her in my arms and softly sa…id,
          D
“Darling, in the coming spring I'll be coming back again
                       A        D
to the valley of the Shenandoah ridge".

             D
    When the evening shadows fall in memory I recall
                     A            D
    a pledge when I gave to her a ring:

    “Darling in the coming spring I'll be coming back again
                           A        D
    to the valley of the Shenandoah ridge.

        A              A7             D
It was in the month of June, when the roses were in bloom,
        G              D              A A7

          D
“Darling, in the coming spring I'll be coming back again
                       A        D
to the valley of the Shenandoah ridge".
