Shady Grove by Jerry Garcia
Shady Grove
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Dm
Dm (C)
Peaches in the summertime,
Dm (C) Dm
Apples in the fall,
C
If I can't get the girl I love,
Am Dm
Won't have none at all.
[Chorus]
Dm (C)
Shady grove, my true love,
Dm (C) Dm
Shady grove, I know,
C
Shady grove, my true love,
Am Dm
I'm bound for the shady grove.
Wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd play on it (note 2)
I wish that girl were mine
[Chorus]
Wish I had a needle and thread (note 3)
Fine as I could sew
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side
And down the road I'd go
[Chorus]
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry
[Chorus]
Every night when I go home (note 4)
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her
[Chorus]
Fly around, my pretty little miss (note 5)
Fly around, my Daisy
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Nearly drive me crazy
[Chorus]
