Introduction: Gm7
Gm7
Down the road, and up the hill
Gm7
Round the bend, and behind the mill
Gm7
When just a kid I used to go
Gm7
To a place called shady grove
Gm7
That is where I first met her
Gm7
She changed my life with one just one word
Gm7
She called it love but I don't know
Gm7
I call it goin' down to shady grove
Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove
Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
Gm7
Sometimes we'd steal away at night
Gm7
All the same the feel was right
Gm7
There was no city, there was no town
Gm7
'cause shady grove was all around
Gm7
We'd just lay down look up and see
Gm7
The vast expanse of the old, old tree
Gm7
When our love had turned to lust
Gm7
Shady grove would cover us
Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove
Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
Gm7
No one would ever come by
Gm7
We were young and very shy
Gm7
It seemed to wrap around us both
Gm7
The place we called shady grove
Gm7
Not long ago to my surprise
Gm7
I seemed to have to go back
Gm7
I went back to that same old spot
Gm7
The trees were gone - it's a parking lot
Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove
Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove
Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
Gm7
Shady grove, shady grove
Gm7
In the middle of shady grove
