Tonight there'll be candlelight and roses
                                                    D
In this little country chapel that's almost falling down
            G                 C                  G
There'll be tears in this old farmer's eyes this evening
       A                              D
When I give my one possession to that city boy from town

    G                C                 G
His hair is a little longer than we're use to
                                             C
But, I guess I should find something good to say
                                      G
About this man whose won the farmer's daughter
         D                         G
And will soon become my son-in-law today

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

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