[Verse]
C F CI was just out of the service, drifting through the countryside
Am7 GFound a field a fireflies to bed down for the night
C F C Am Am7Before I fell asleep something caught my eye eye
F G CThere was another man in the field, a shadow in moonlight
[Verse]
C F CLate in the springtime when the sun goes down
Am7 GYou can find him in the field across the street from his house
C F C Am7Picking him a bouquet underneath a May full moon
F G C FWith aging eyes as misty as an early morning dew
[Verse]
C F CI met him through the fireflies, he was a kind-hearted man
Am7 GAnd I asked about the bouquet as I went to shake his hand
C F G AmHe told me about his late wife and the flowers that she grew
FHow springtime was her favorite
G C'Cause that's when everything would bloom
[Chorus]
F G CHe said at night I Go pickin' a Cherokee rose
F GI'll lay 'em on her headstone
C C/B Am Am'Cause she loved them the most
F G C C/B Am7No matter how many I have won't bring her back I suppose
F GBut it makes me feel close
C G C Fm C F C FmTo my Cherokee rose
[Verse]
CHe took me to where she lay low
F CAnd he said my dearest rose
Am GI lost her givin' birth to a boy I'll never know
C F AmSat there in the silence as he held hands with her ghost
F G CUntil we meet again the only peace I'll ever know
[Chorus]
F G CHe said at night I Go pickin' a Cherokee rose
F GI'll lay 'em on her headstone
C C/B Am Am'Cause she loved them the most
F G C C/B Am7No matter how many I have won't bring her back I suppose
F GBut it makes me feel close
C CTo my Cherokee rose
[Break]
F CWell, the days went on and the years went by
F CAnd on a rainy autumn day, he joined her on the other side
F Dm Bb G But in his will, it was much to my surprise
FHe left me everything he had
G G7For just a small price
[Verse]
C FOh, it's been 35 years since this land became mine
Am GAnd many things have changed, but one thing has stood the test of time
C F AmI spend every spring pickin' flowers with my wife
F G CBecause he taught me love is one thing that will never die
[Chorus]
F G CSo, now at night I Go pickin' a Cherokee rose
F GI'll lay it on his headstone
C C/B Am'Cause he loved her the most
F G C C/B AmNo matter how many I have won't bring her back I suppose
F GBut I know that he's close
C CTo his Cherokee rose
