Cecilia The Mulligan Brothers
INTRO
[Bm] [A] [Bm] [A] [Bm] [G] [A] [F#m] [Bm]
[Bm]In the south of alab[A]amy
[Bm]Near the gulf of [A]Mexico
[Bm]On the banks of the ol' T[A]ombigbee
[G]Walks an old lo[F#m]st forgot[Dbm]ten sou[Bm]l[Dbm]
[Bm]He was once a man of [A]virtue
[Bm]Sadly less a man of [A]means
[Bm]He said Cecelia I wont let'em hurt [A]you
I'll set you [G]free. [F#]I'll set you [Bm]free
[G]My love for you is [F#m]stronger than these [Bm]plantation walls
And it [D]howls at the[A] moon at n[Bm]ight
[G]It don't know about the [A]law
[D]And it is at your [F#m]beck and [Bm]call
[Bm]I'll set yo[G]u free
Cece[A]lia don't[F#m] you[Bm] cry
by [D]and by
[A]Cecelia d[Bm]on?t you cry
[Bm] [A] [Bm] [A] [Bm] [G] [A] [F#m] [Bm]
[Bm]She was born into [A]subjection
[Bm]She was born without a [A]say
[Bm]He was her first and only[A] revelation
[G]That she m[F#m]ight not die t[Bm]hat way
[Bm]I will love you all the [A]seasons
[Bm]What you want is what [A]I'll be
[Bm]I'll be your rock I'll [A]be your reason
[D]Just set me [A]free. Just [Bm]set me free.
[G]My heart is so much[F#m] stronger than these[Bm] plantation walls
And it [D]howls at the[A] moon at n[Bm]ight
[G]It don't care about the [A]law
[D]And every night I [F#m]hear it c[Bm]all
[Bm]I'll set us[G] free
Cece[A]lia don't[F#m] you[Bm] cry
by [D]and by
[A]Cecelia d[Bm]on't you cry
[Bm] [A] [Bm] [A] [Bm] [G] [A] [F#m] [Bm]
[D]He had never been inclined to[Bm] help another man die
[Bm]Until the [G]boss man d[A]eclined their [Bm]wish to leave
[Bm]With Cecelia at his [F#m]side under that dark Octo[Bm]ber sky
T[Bm]hey climbed aboard his[A] boat and left that man[F#m] to bleed
[Bm]No sooner than the boss man died his f[Bm]ury fell out of the sky
[G]Racer's [D]storm was on the hunt the[Bm]y say
[G]Revenge and water fille[F#]d that boat and sank his one and o[Bm]nly hope
[G]As he heard Ceceli[A]a's cries fa[F#]ding away
[Bm]In the south of alab[A]amy
[Bm]Near the gulf of [A]Mexico
[Bm]On the banks of the ol' T[A]ombigbee
[G]Walks an old lo[F#m]st forgotten s[Bm]oul
F[Bm]rom those murky, sh[A]allow waters
[Bm]To the Caribbean [A]sea
[Bm]You can hear him c[A]ry Cecelia
[D]Come set me fr[A]ee. Come set[Bm] me free.
[D]Cecelia pleas[A]e. Come set [Bm]me free.
[D]Come set me f[A]ree. Come set [Bm]me free.
[D]Cecelia plea[A]se. Come set [Bm]me free.
