INTRO
Bm A Bm A Bm G A F# Bm
Bm A
In the south of alabamy
Bm A
Near the gulf of Mexico
Bm A
On the banks of the ol' Tombigbee
G F# Dbm Bm Dbm
Walks an old lost forgotten soul
Bm A
He was once a man of virtue
Bm A
Sadly less a man of means
Bm A
He said Cecelia I wont let'em hurt you
G F# Bm
I'll set you free. I'll set you free
G F# Bm
My love for you is stronger than these plantation walls
D A Bm
And it howls at the moon at night
G A
It don't know about the law
D F# Bm
And it is at your beck and call
Bm G
I'll set you free
A F# Bm
Cecelia don't you cry
D
by and by
A Bm
Cecelia don’t you cry
Bm A Bm A Bm G A F# Bm
Bm A
She was born into subjection
Bm A
She was born without a say
Bm A
He was her first and only revelation
G F# Bm
That she might not die that way
Bm A
I will love you all the seasons
Bm A
What you want is what I'll be
Bm A
I'll be your rock I'll be your reason
D A Bm
Just set me free. Just set me free.
G F# Bm
My heart is so much stronger than these plantation walls
D A Bm
And it howls at the moon at night
G A
It don't care about the law
D F# Bm
And every night I hear it call
Bm G
I'll set us free
A F# Bm
Cecelia don't you cry
D
by and by
A Bm
Cecelia don't you cry
Bm A Bm A Bm G A F#m Bm
D Bm
He had never been inclined to help another man die
Bm G A Bm
Until the boss man declined their wish to leave
Bm F# Bm
With Cecelia at his side under that dark October sky
Bm A F#
They climbed aboard his boat and left that man to bleed
Bm Bm
No sooner than the boss man died his fury fell out of the sky
G D Bm
Racer's storm was on the hunt they say
G F# Bm
Revenge and water filled that boat and sank his one and only hope
G A F#
As he heard Cecelia's cries fading away
Bm A
In the south of alabamy
Bm A
Near the gulf of Mexico
Bm A
On the banks of the ol' Tombigbee
G F# Bm
Walks an old lost forgotten soul
Bm A
From those murky, shallow waters
Bm A
To the Caribbean sea
Bm A
You can hear him cry Cecelia
D A Bm
Come set me free. Come set me free.
D A Bm
Cecelia please. Come set me free.
D A Bm
Come set me free. Come set me free.
D A Bm
Cecelia please. Come set me free.
