Verse 1:

Bm      F#7Bm
There's a farm upon a hill
Em   B7 Em
Down in Maine
              F#7    Bm
And there's a little girlie waits for me
        C#7 D7  F#7
Rebecca  is her name

Bm   F#7Bm
When we wandered down the lane
Em   B7 Em
Just we two
            E7
And she was grieving
         A
As I was leaving
           B7             E7  F#dimA7
And then I promised to be true

Chorus Repeat (twice):

                      D   D7
Where the honeysuckle vine
(where the honeysuckle vine)
                         G   B7Em
Twines itself around the door
(twines itself around the door)
              A7  Em7A7
My sweetheart mine
(my sweetheart mine)
           D       Ddim   A7
Is waiting patient-ly for me

                       D   D7
I can hear the whippor-will
(i can hear the whippoorwill)
                        G   B7Em
Tell me softly from the hill
(tell me softly from the hill)
           D          Em7
Her mem'ry haunts you,
        D        Em7
Rebecca wants you
        D       A7         D   F#7
So come back to Sunnybrook Farm

Verse 2:

BmF#7 Bm
I can see her just the same
Em    B7  Em
Stand-ing there
            F#7    Bm
And she had on her little gingham gown
            C#7D7  F#7
And ribbons in her hair

Bm F#7Bm
My Re-becca looked so sweet
Em      B7 Em
Dressed so plain
           E7
I knew I'd miss her
            A
I longed to kiss her
           B7           E7  F#dimA7
And so I'm going back a-gain

Chorus Repeat (twice):
D
