[Verse 1]
Dm C
Peaches in the summertime,
Dm Dm
Apples in the fall,
F C
If I can't get the girl I love,
Dm C Dm
Won't have none at all.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Shady grove, my true love,
Dm Dm
Shady grove, I know,
F C
Shady grove, my true love,
Dm C Dm
I'm bound for the shady grove.
(chorus chords)
Wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd play on it
I wish that girl were mine
[Chorus]
(chorus chords)
Wish I had a needle and thread
Fine as I could sew
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side
And down the road I'd go
[Chorus]
(chorus chords)
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]
(chorus chords)
Every night when I go home
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her
[Chorus]
(chorus chords)
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Fly around, my Daisy
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Nearly drive me crazy
