[Verse 1]
[A]Sunday [G]morning,
[D]my Rebbecca sleeping [A]in with me [D]again
There's [G]a kid outside the church
[D]kicking a c[A]an
When the ce[G]dar [D]branches [G]twist [D]she
turns her col[A]lar to [D]the wind
[G]The weather can close [D]the
world within its [A]hand

[Verse 2]
[A]
And my [G]mother [D]says Rebbecca is
as stub[A]born as they [D]come
They both [G]call to me with [D]words
I never [A]knew
There's [G]a bug in[D]side the thimble,
there's [A]a band-aid on on her thumb
[D]And a p[G]ony in the riv[D]er turning blu[A]e

[Verse 3]
[A]
They say, [G]"Time may give you [D]more than
your poor [A]bones could ever [D]take"
My [G]Rebbecca says she
never [D]wants a [A]boy
To be [G]barefoot on the [D]driveway as
they [A]wave and ride [D]away
Then to [G]run inside and
[D]curse the open [A]door

[Verse 4]
[A]
I once [G]gave to my [D]Rebbecca a
be[A]lated promise [D]ring
And she [G]sold it to [D]the waitress on a [A]train
I may [G]find her by the [D]phone but
with a fash[A]ion [D]magazine
She may [G]kiss me when
[D]her girlfriends leave [A]again

[Verse 5]
[A]
They say, [G]"Time may give you [D]more than
your poor [A]bones could ever [D]take"
I think [G]I could never l[D]ove another g[A]irl
To be [G]free atop a [D]tree stump and
to [A]look the other [D]way
While she [G]shines my mother's [D]imitation[A][G][D]
[A]pea[D]rls[G][D][A]

[Interlude 1]

Sunday [G]evening my

[Verse 6]
[D]Rebbecca's lost
[A]a book she never [D]read
And the [G]moon already [D]fell into [A]the sea
Saw the [G]statues of our [D]fathers in
the court[A]house flower [D]bed
Now they [G]blend with all the
light[D]ning-tattered trees
[A]trees

[Verse 7]
[A]
They say, [G]"Time may give you [D]more than
your poor [A]bones could ever [D]take"
[G]My Rebbecca said she knew
[D]I'd want a b[A]oy
[G]A dollar for my [D]boardwalk red bal[A]loon,
to float [D]away
She would [G]earn a pocket[D]ful to buy me more
[A]
