[G]Last night the willows stopped [C]weep[B7]ing
And [C]everything [D]sat hushed and [G]still
And [G]while my body lay [C]sleep[B7]ing
I [C]dreamt of Reb[D]ecca De[G]ville
Now I w[G]onder if she was a [C]real g[B7]irl
[C]Did she d[D]ie when I [G]woke?
[C]Well I'll sleep st[D]raight through to t[B7]omorrow
And [C]look for her t[D]ill I go b[G]roke

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

[G]Any[D]body,[G] has [D]anybody seen [G]my little g[D]irl [C]around
[G]I last [D]saw her[G] in New[D] Orleans
[G]I can't[D] find her n[C]ow

[G]I stepped into the nearest [C]twilight [B7]bar
To [C]ask if [D]anyone [G]knew
The w[G]hereabouts of my R[C]ebecca D[B7]eville
The [C]bartender s[D]aid that he [G]knew
[G]He said that just a few [C]week[B7]s ago
She [C]hitched a ri[D]de out [G]west
With a m[G]an who said he'd show her the [C]big [B7]time
Sai[C]d he would [D]show her the [G]best
[G]But he stopped the car two mil[C]es down the r[B7]oad
And he p[C]ut a g[D]un to her h[G]ead
And [C]raped her of a[D]ll that s[B7]he ever had
When [C]Rebecca was f[D]ound she was d[G]ead

pause

[B7]Low d[C]oesn't even beg[G]in
To d[B7]escribe the s[C]hape that I am [G]in
Bu[B7]t you can d[C]ream in both d[G]irections
And [B7]bring the pas[C]t back [G]again
So m[B7]aybe i can f[C]ind [G]her
Bef[B7]ore h[C]eaven goes an[G]d hides her
[B7]Hope and k[C]eep her from [G]going
C (add some CMaj7's in there, too)
Away
Well 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 a 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 too
You know how that is with me
I said stop
Don't you get in the car
Don't you get in the car
'cause I won't be coming back
If you get in the back
Don't you get in the car
Don't you get in the car
'cause I won't be coming back
If you get in the back
My sweetheart
My sweetheart
I will just stay awake
Six years or maybe eight
Till I lose your memory
And all that you've 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
Well she got inside
And waved goodbye
And I watched the tail lights
They danced like candle light
And then they went out
Goodbye
My sweetheart
Goodbye
My sweetheart
