Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

1. Get you, brushing your hair with the wind,

riding your bike up on Mulholland Drive.

Oh, I got a five-minute

2. …rush from you in your faded blue jeans,

How many years is it you've been alive?

Oh, I'll take a guess.

Rebecca, could it be eighteen, nineteen or so?

Oh, Rebecca, will I ever know?

3. No way, where would I fit in your life?

What would you do with a man without change.

too strange and too poor…

4. ….to be trusted, rusted a couple of times,

shaken a bit by the years on the road,

and the women I've known?

Rebecca, you'd have liked the name I gave to you,

Oh, Rebecca, if you only knew.

Go home to your father's friends,

straight sons to your mother's friends,

sweet ones to those families,

well-to-do and so well-established.

5. And one day you might wake up to a shock, girl,

what has it come to, this sensible life.

The wife of a fool?

Rebecca, reading magazines in a chic salon.

Oh, Rebecca, where's Rebecca gone?
