In The Valley Of The Shenandoah(Chords)

	        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. 

           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 
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?.
