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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mason_jennings/rebecca_deville_crd_ver_2.html ]
    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"
