          F           C             G           CSunday morning, my Rebecca sleeping in with me again
          F                 C               G     There's a kid outside the church kicking a can
           F             C                    G             CWhen the cedar branches twist she turns her collar to the wind
       F                  C                 G        The weather can close the world within its hand

         F             C         G                 CAnd my mother says Rebecca is as stubborn as they come
           F               C             GThey both call to me with words I never knew
           F              C                  G               CThere's a bug inside the thimble, there's a band-aid on her thumb
       F           C             GAnd a pony in the river turning blue
             F                C                  G                 CThey say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"
     F               C             GMy Rebecca says she never wants a boy   
        F              C                G             CTo be barefoot on the driveway as they wave and ride away
         F              C             GThen to run inside and curse the open door

         F         C         G              CI once gave to my Rebecca a belated promise ring
        F               C           G     And she sold it to the waitress on a train
       F               C               G             CI may find her by the phone but with a fashion magazine
        F                 C                GShe may kiss me when her girlfriends leave again
           F                  C                    G              CThey say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"
        F               C            GI think I could never love another girl
      F           C                 G              CTo be free atop a tree stump and to look the other way
          F                  C         GWhile she shines my mother's imitation pearls


Solo

        F         C                G              CSunday evening my Rebecca's lost a book she never read
        F            C             GAnd the moon already fell into the sea
         F             C              G                 CSaw the statues of our fathers in the courthouse flower bed
         F                  C                  GNow they blend with all the lightning-tattered trees
          F                  C                   G                CThey say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"
   F                C               GMy Rebecca said she knew I'd want a boy
  F             C             G                 CA dollar for my boardwalk red balloon, to float away
          F             C             GShe would earn a pocketful to buy me more
