To Rebecca

G D/F# Em C 2x G D/F# Like some old, faded Sunday paper Em C On a closet shelf G D/F# That's been read, torn apart, laid away Em C Used for something else G D/F# So she goes on searching blindly for the time Em C She'll really find herself G D/F# Counting rainbows, clover leaves and pennies Em C On the bottom of a wishing well G Sing Rebecca, sing. D/F# Drift alone on your own Em C Where you're going? G Cry mama, cry D/F# How your little girl has gone Em C without you knowing G D/F# Too young to be a woman, Em C too wise to be a child D/F# Who's to blame? F Em 5 am central standard time C Friday morning D/F# In the rain G Like a broken China doll D/F# With no eyes Em C Lying naked in the alley dust G D/F# She no longer sees the games she used to play Em C As the times that really mattered much G D/F# Since her mind was opened up to every word Em C Her father said she mustn't touch G D/F# Now far away from those who couldn't see her dreams Em C She's off to do the things she loves G Sing Rebecca, sing. D/F# Drift alone on your own Em C Where you're going? G Cry mama, cry D/F# How your little girl has gone Em C without you knowing G D/F# Too young to be a woman, Em C too wise to be a child D/F# Who's to blame? F Em 5 am central standard time C Friday morning D/F# In the rain G Sing Rebecca, sing. D/F# Drift alone on your own Em C Where you're going?
