But I'm leavin' in the end

[Verse 1]
Am             G
Went to see my Shady Grove
C             G       Am
Her eyes the deepest brown
Am              G
Went to see my Shady Grove

She's the prettiest girl in town

Went to see my Shady Grove

Her eyes the deepest brown

Went to see my Shady Grove
           C         G       Am
She's the prettiest girl in town

[Verse 2]
Am             G
I wish I had a banjo string
C         G      Am
Made of golden twine
Am          G
And I sing day by day
   C         G         Am
I wish that girl were mine
Am                 G
I wish I had me a banjo string

Made of golden twine
Am         G

I wish that girl were mine

Shady Grove my friend
Am             G
Shady Grove is my little love

[Verse 3]
Am                 G
I wish I had me a big strong horse
      C       G       Am
And grain to feed him on
Am                     G
And I'd be gone from Shady Grove
C         G     Am
Ramblin' on and on
Am                G             C
I wish I had me a   big strong horse
      G      Am
And grain to feed him on
Am                    G
And I'd be gone from Shady Grove
C            G      Am
Playing the same shitty songs

Am            G
When I was a boy, I wanted
    C       G       Am
I wanted a Buckley knife
Am                 G
Now all I want is Shady Grove

To say she'll be my wife

When I was a boy
      C       G      Am
I wanted a Buckley knife
      Am                G
Well now I will always have one

Firmly strapped to my side

Am               G
Cherries in the Summer time
    C       G      Am
And apples in the Fall
Am                      G
If I can't have me my Shady Grove

I don't have no love at all
