Down in south Alabama Where the cypress trees grow There lived a man named John looking for a wife So to town he did go It was there he found sweet Mary And they made their wedding plans The next Sunday morning when the church bells rang They were standing hand in hand And the preacher said John do you take Mary for your wife And he said Oh yes Lord for the rest of my life And the preacher said Mary do you love this man in front of you And she said Oh yes Lord forever I'll be true Now when the sun comes up in the morning They look into each other's eyes And the love and the faith that they see in each other No one can deny And the little baby boy she holds in her arms With the power when you pray And every night on their knees they thank the Lord above For giving them that day When the preacher said John do you take Mary for your wife And he said Oh yes Lord for the rest of my life And the preacher said Mary do you love this man in front of you And she said Oh yes Lord forever I'll be true Down in south Alabama Where the cypress trees grow There lived a man named John looking for a wife So to town he did go It was there he found sweet Mary And they made their wedding plans The next Sunday morning when the church bells rang They were standing hand in hand And the preacher said John do you take Mary for your wife And he said Oh yes Lord for the rest of my life And the preacher said Mary do you love this man in front of you And she said Oh yes Lord forever I'll be true CHORD CHART |C |C |C |C |C |C |G |C | TAB (mandolin arranged for guitar) ___ ___ _____ ___ _____ |-| | | | | |-| |-| | | |-| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------0---|-0---0---(0)------------------------| |--------------------------------1---|-5---1-\/(1)--1----1---1---(1)--1---| |----------------------------0-2-----|/------\/-----0-2--0-2-0-\/(0)--0-2-| |-----------------------------\/-----|S-------T------\/---\/---\/------\/-| |------------------------------H-----|----------------H----H----T-------H-| |------------------------------------|------------------------------------| ___ _____ ___ ___ _____ ___ _____ |-| | | |-| | |-| | | | | |-| |-| | | |-| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |------------------------------------|-0---0---(0)------------------------| |-----1---(1)--1----1------------1---|-5---1-\/(1)--1----1---1---(1)--1---| |-----0-\/(0)--0-2--0----------0-----|/------\/-----0-2--0-2-0-\/(0)--0-2-| |-0-2---\/------\/-----------2-------|S-------T------\/---\/---\/------\/-| |--\/----T-------H-------------------|----------------H----H----T-------H-| |---H--------------------------------|------------------------------------| ___ _____ ___ ___ _____ ___ _____ |-| | | |-| | |-| | | | | |-| |-| | | |-| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------0---|-0---0---(0)------------------------| |-----1---(1)--------------------1---|-5---1-\/(1)--1----1---1---(1)--1---| |-----0-\/(0)----------------0-2-----|/------\/-----0-2--0-2-0-\/(0)--0-2-| |-0-2---\/-----1-0------------\/-----|S-------T------\/---\/---\/------\/-| |--\/----T------\/--3----------H-----|----------------H----H----T-------H-| |---H------------P-------------------|------------------------------------| ___ _____ ___ ___ _____ ___ _____ |-| | | |-| | |-| | | | | |-| |-| | | |-| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |------------------------------------|-0---0---(0)------------------------| |-----1---(1)--1----1------------1---|-5---1-\/(1)--1----1---1---(1)--1---| |-----0-\/(0)--0-2--0----------0-----|/------\/-----0-2--0-2-0-\/(0)--0-2-| |-0-2---\/------\/-----------2-------|S-------T------\/---\/---\/------\/-| |--\/----T-------H-------------------|----------------H----H----T-------H-| |---H--------------------------------|------------------------------------| ___ _____ |-| | | |-| | | | | | | | | > |------------------------------------|------------------------------------| |-----1---(1)------------------------|------------------------------------| |-----0-\/(0)------------------------|------------------------------------| |-0-2---\/-----1-0-------------------|------------------------------------| |--\/----T------\/--3----------------|------------------------------------| |---H------------P-------------------|------------------------------------| _________________ /_ _ /__ _/ _ _ /| | | | | TAB NOTES | | | |/| | \/ = hammer on | | | H | | | |/| | \/ = pull off | | | P | | | |/| | \/ = tie | | | T | | | |/| | / = slide | | | S | | |________________|/
