Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verses

lord have mercy on my mind

mercy on my memory

 I'm lying neath the same Virginia sky

where she lay beside me, biding time

trying to abide me

every night when the night was long

she was clinging to me

told me twice that her love was strong

 stronger than the love in old love songs

she was singing to me

Chorus

o, o, Shenandoah

cross the rolling water

o, o, Shenandoah

where's your restless daughter?
