D                   G               D
Tonight there'll be candlelight and roses
                                                    A7
In this little country chapel that's almost falling down
            D                 G                  D
There'll be tears in this old farmer's eyes this evening
       E                              A
When I give my one possession to that city boy from town
    D                G                 D
His hair is a little longer than we're use to
                                             G
But, I guess I should find something good to say
                                      D
About this man whose won the farmer's daughter
         A7                        D
And will soon become my son-in-law today


G                         D
Mama left eight years ago December
           A7                        D
And it was hard to be a Dad and Mama too
          G                            D
But, some-how we made home of this old farm house
    E                         A
And love was all my baby ever knew

 D               G                    D
*He could be the richest man in seven counties
                                   G
And not be good enough to take her hand
                                          D
But, he says he really loves the farmer's daughter
      A7                                   D
And I know the farmer's daughter loves the man
