about

Written literally a moonlit Monday evening on a scenic ridge stop in western Virginia, where a young man, a street kid from NYC, for the first time witnessed the the beauty of the night, and the dawn, over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley-and it's true:

" traveling without you is just
Miles without reason
And all this would vanish
Without you by side"

lyrics

SHENANDOAH WITH YOU
@1988/2021 RICHARD DAVID SPANO BMI/SHADOWSONGS/BMI
INTRO is "O Shenandoah" and is ©Public Domain/fair free use

D D/C D/B G D
D D/C D/B G A
D D/C D/B G A
I wish you could see the mountains tonight
G A D
How the moonlight is flickering down
G A Bm A G
It outlines my face in a ghostly grey light
Em A
The stars are so close
G D D/C D/B G A
There’s no one around

I’m not looking for much, just a place to relax, and drive out the chill from my bones
It’s early morning Monday, and I misplaced my maps
And my trafvels keep taking me
Further from home
Em A
And O how I miss you
G A D
Tell me when will this foolishness end?
G A
I know we promised ourselves
Bm A G
We’d see this thing through
Em A G D D/C D/B G A
When all I wanted to see was Shenandoah with you





G A
With my mind and my heart
D
I’ve felt all the seasons
G A D
Felt the wind and the rain and the snow
On my face
G A
But traveling without you is just
Bm A G
Miles without reason
Em A
And all this would vanish
G D D/C D/B G A
Without you by side

I wish you’d believe
When I say you’re the one
And quit trying to prove that
I’m wrong
This tear in my eye
It’s the wind or the sun
Or maybe the feeling
I’ve been gone too long

And O how I miss you
Tell me when will this foolishness end?
I know we promised ourselves
We’d see this thing through
When all I wanted to see was Shenandoah with you
All I wanted to see
Is The Shenandoah with you-Just you
