intro – G/F# – G ( repeat )
verse 1
G C E
last night the willow stopped weeping
C D G
and everything sat hushed and stilled
G C E
and while my body lay sleeping
C D G
i dreamt of rebecca deville
G C E
and i wonder if she’s a real girl
C D G
or did she die when i woke
C D E
i’ll sleep straight through ’til tommorow
C D G
and look for her until i go broke
verse 2 ( same chords as above )
i found myself by the highway
that i ride in all my dreams
i met her while i was hitchhiking
from england to new orleans
she rode shotgun but stayed facing me
and i laid down in the back
i fell in love somewhere near illinois
and she said she loved me right back
chorus
G D G D G D C C/B C/A
anybody , has anybody seen my little girl around
G D G D G D C C/B C/A
i last saw her , in new orleans , i cant find her now
verse 3
i stepped into the nearest twilight bar ,
to ask if anyone knew
the where abouts of rebecca deville
the bartender said that he knew
he said that just a few weeks ago
she hitched a ride out west
with a man said he show her the big time
said he would show her the best
verse 4 ( this verse could also be sung acapella )
G C E
but he stopped the car two miles down the road
C D G
and he put a gun to her head
C D E
and raped her of all that she ever had
C D G
when rebecca was found she was dead
verse 5 ( ???? )
E C G
and low doesnt even begin
E C G
to describe the shape that i Am in
E C G
but you can dream in both directions
E C G
bring the past back again
E C G
so maybe i can find her
E C G
before heaven goes and hides her
E C G E C
hope to keep her from going away
bridge – the whole section is on A C chord
( play C – Cmaj7 ) over the “sweetheart” part )
i saw her again it was a sunday evening
she had flagged a ride
it was a lincoln continental
she was on the passenger side
she had hold of the handle
i said rebecca don’t go , he’s not what he seems
i said rebecca don’t go , he’s not what he seems
take my word darling and drop out of this dream
she said “he’s going to , the big city”
“and i’m going to , you nkow how that is with me”
i said stop
dont you get in the car
dont you get in the car
cause i wont be coming back
if you get in the back
dont you get in the car
dont you get in the car
cause i wont be coming back
if you get in the back
my sweetheart
my sweetheart
i will just stay away
six years or maybe eight
until i loose your memory
and all that you meant to me
cause
i can’t stand to see this
i can’t stand to see this
i can’t stand to see this
and she got inside , and waved goodbye
and i watched the taillights
dance like candlelights
and they went
“goodbye , my sweetheart”
“goodbye , my sweetheart”
