G       D/F#       Em
Rebecca Lynn, grew up in Carolina
Am                       G/B      C
Half a mile from Tucker Cherry's farm
G       D/F#        Em
A quiet girl, with green eyes full of fire
Am                                    Dsus - D
Her daddy's pride and all her mama's charm
G       D/F#   Em
Rebecca Lynn, became my heart's desire
Am                    G/B       C
Long about the start of second grade
G     D/F#       Em
Mrs. Rosenbloom let me sit beside her
   Am                   D               G    D
So we passed notes and after school we played


Chorus 1:

        G   D/F#    Em       D      C     G/B     Am         D
Singin' Ring      around the rosy, pocket full of dreams and posies
G      D/F#      Em      D    C          G/B   Am       D
Patty cake  and baker's man, tag you're  it,  kick the can and I
G     D/F#      Em        D      Am  
Think I    hear my mama callin', gotta go
D                G
Man I loved her so

Verse 2:

A            E/G#  F#m
High school days,  me   and Becky learnin'
Bm                             A/C#   D
What it really means to be in love
A         E/G#  F#m
Give and take, holdin' back for heaven's sake and
Bm                              Esus - E
Fightin' for a week then makin' up
A         E/G#    F#m
I said, "Please, Becky won't you marry me?"
Bm                       A/C#       D
Prom night in my car out by    the curb
A       E/G#              F#m                   
She was so    surprised, first she laughed and then she cried
      Bm             E                A    E
And somewhere in my heart I'm sure I heard


Chorus 2:

A   E/G#  F#m        E      D     A/C#     Bm         E
Ring     around the rosy, pocket full  of dreams and posies
A     E/C#      F#m    E     D         A/C#   Bm       E
Patty cake and baker's man, tag you're it    kick the can
A      E/G#      F#m    E        Bm
Mama flashed the porch light for me, gotta go
E               A   Bm   A/C#
Man I loved her so


Bridge:

D             A/C#               Bm                E
When love is wrong it dies, and that's the way it goes
F#m            E                B    Bm7
But when it's right, your love grows


Verse 3:

A     E/G#     F#m
Laura Jean was born in Tennessee
              Bm                     A/C#   D
Now that's a common little miracle I know
        A       E/G#        F#m
But for me and Becky  Lynn, she's the dream that started when we
Bm        E       A         E
Fell in love so many years ago



Chorus 3:

         A   E/G#   F#m              Bm     A        E 
Singin' Ring      around the rosy, pocket full of dreams and posies
A      E/G#      F#m         Bm                 E
Patty cake  and baker's man, tag you're it and kick the can
A       E/G#      F#m        E       Bm
I think I    hear your mama callin', gotta go
E                A
Man I love her so
