Verse 2 (same chords as above)
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

Verse 3
I stepped into the nearest twilight bar, 
to ask if anyone knew

She hitched a ride out west
With a man said he show her the big time
Said he would show her the best

Bridge - the whole section is on a C chord
(play C - Cmaj7) over the "sweetheart" part)

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 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 to, you nkow how that is with me"
I said stop 
dont you get in the car
dont you get in the car
cause i wont be coming back
if you get in the back
dont you get in the car
dont you get in the car
cause i wont be coming back
if you get in the back
My sweetheart
My sweetheart

I will just stay away
six years or maybe eight
until I loose your memory
and all that you 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
and she got inside, and waved goodbye
and i watched the taillights
dance like candlelights
and they went
"Goodbye, my sweetheart"
"Goodbye, my sweetheart"
