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”.

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,

to the valley of the Shenandoah ridge”.
