Rebecca Lynn Teclado

	  G        D         C               Am 
Rebecca Lynn, grew up in Carolina 
                                  C     D     G 
Half a mile from Tucker Cherry's farm 
         D          C                       Am 
A quiet girl, with green eyes full of fire 
                                      C    D     G 
Her daddy's pride and all her mama's joy 
         D       C                      Am 
Rebecca Lynn, became my heart's desire 
                                 C     D     G 
Long about the start of second grade 
      D          C 
Mrs. Rosenbloom let me sit beside her 
   Am                   D               G       D 
So we passed notes and after school we played 
 
        G     Em               C               D                G 
Singin'Ring around they rosy, pocket full of dreams and posies 
              Em           C                 D 
Patty cake a-baker's man, tag you're it and kick the can 
    G              Em   C                    D 
I think I hear my mama callin', gotta go 
                 G 
Man I loved her so 
 
High school days, me and Becky learnin' 
What it really means to be in love 
Give and take, holdin' back for heaven's sake 
Fightin' for a week then makin' up 
I said, "Please, Becky won't you marry me?" 
Prom night in my car out by the curb 
She was so surprised, first she laughed and then she cried 
And somewhere in my heart I'm sure I heard 
 
Ring around they rosy, pocket full of dreams and posies 
Patty cake a-baker's man, tag you're it and kick the can 
Mama flashed the porch light for me, gotta go 
Man I loved her so 
 
Bridge: 
When love is wrong it dies, and that's the way it goes 
But when it's right, you know love grows 
 
Laura Jean born in Tennessee 
That's a common little miracle I know 
But for me and Becky Lynn, she's the dream that started when we 
Fell in love so many years ago 
 
Singin'Ring around they rosy, pocket full of dreams and posies 
Patty cake a-baker's man, tag you're it and kick the can 
I think I hear your mama callin', gotta go 
Man I loved her so 
 
NOTES: 
*There is a key change after the first chorus (it goes up to A) but I could 
never sing it that high, so I've left everything in the key of G, which is 
enough of a stretch as it is! 
*Please let me know of any corrections! 
*Also, let me know of any other songs you'd like the chords to...I enjoy the 
challenge of figuring them out!
