INTRO
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm
Bm         A augmentedA
In the south of alabamy
B minorBm        A augmentedA
Near the gulf of Mexico
B minorBm            A augmentedA
On the banks of the ol' Tombigbee
G+G       F# minorF#m   DbmDbm  B minorBm DbmDbm
Walks an old lost forgotten soul

B minorBm          A augmentedA
He was once a man of virtue
B minorBm         A augmentedA
Sadly less a man of means
B minorBm                 A augmentedA
He said Cecelia I wont let'em hurt you
       G+G   F#F#      B minorBm
I'll set you free. I'll set you free

G+G         F# minorF#m         B minorBm
My love for you is stronger than these plantation walls
    D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm
And it howls at the moon at night
G+G            A augmentedA
It don't know about the law
D MajorD         F# minorF#m   B minorBm
And it is at your beck and call
B minorBm     G+G
I'll set you free
  A augmentedA    F# minorF#m B minorBm
Cecelia don't you cry
  D MajorD
by and by
A augmentedA    B minorBm
Cecelia don?t you cry

B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm

B minorBm        A augmentedA
She was born into subjection
B minorBm           A augmentedA
She was born without a say
B minorBm            A augmentedA
He was her first and only revelation
G+G     F# minorF#m      B minorBm
That she might not die that way
B minorBm           A augmentedA
I will love you all the seasons
B minorBm          A augmentedA
What you want is what I'll be
B minorBm           A augmentedA
I'll be your rock I'll be your reason
D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm
Just set me free. Just set me free.

G+G         F# minorF#m         B minorBm
My heart is so much stronger than these plantation walls
    D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm
And it howls at the moon at night
G+G            A augmentedA
It don't care about the law
D MajorD         F# minorF#m   B minorBm
And every night I hear it call
B minorBm     G+G
I'll set us free
  A augmentedA    F# minorF#m B minorBm
Cecelia don't you cry
  D MajorD
by and by
A augmentedA    B minorBm
Cecelia don't you cry

B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm

D MajorD              B minorBm
He had never been inclined to help another man die
B minorBm    G+G     A augmentedA       B minorBm
Until the boss man declined their wish to leave
B minorBm         F# minorF#m           B minorBm
With Cecelia at his side under that dark October sky
 B minorBm          A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
They climbed aboard his boat and left that man to bleed

B minorBm                  B minorBm
No sooner than the boss man died his fury fell out of the sky
G+G    D MajorD            B minorBm
Racer's storm was on the hunt they say
G+G           F#F#                B minorBm
Revenge and water filled that boat and sank his one and only hope
G+G         A augmentedA      F#F#
As he heard Cecelia's cries fading away

B minorBm         A augmentedA
In the south of alabamy
B minorBm        A augmentedA
Near the gulf of Mexico
B minorBm            A augmentedA
On the banks of the ol' Tombigbee
G+G       F# minorF#m      B minorBm
Walks an old lost forgotten soul

 B minorBm         A augmentedA
From those murky, shallow waters
B minorBm        A augmentedA
To the Caribbean sea
B minorBm        A augmentedA
You can hear him cry Cecelia
D MajorD       A augmentedA      B minorBm
Come set me free. Come set me free.
D MajorD       A augmentedA      B minorBm
Cecelia please. Come set me free.
D MajorD      A augmentedA       B minorBm
Come set me free. Come set me free.
D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm
