Cecilia by The Mulligan Brothers




            Cecilia 







INTRO
Bm A Bm A Bm G A F#m 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#m      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#m                 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#m      Bm
And it is at your beck and call
Bm         G 
I'll set you free 
    A        F#m 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

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#m           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#m                 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#m      Bm
And every night I hear it call
Bm         G 
I'll set us free 
    A        F#m 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#m                      Bm
With Cecelia at his side under that dark October sky 
 Bm                    A                      F#m
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#m           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.
