Rebecca

This is a handy tune to know if you're in a bluegrass band, and just a fun tune all around.  From what I've read, Herschel Sizemore wrote this tune to prevent having to move capo positions for guitar and banjo when playing in B--a common key for bluegrass vocal tunes.  It's named after his mom, Rebecca Sizemore.

The chords are pretty crooked on this one--there are several "half measures" (2/4 measures) in the song, which I've indicated in parentheses.  The structure is AABA--play the A part twice, then the B part once, then back to the A part.  Repeat as desired.

Chords:
A part
 | B    | B  E | B   | B   |
 | F#  | F#  | E   | (E) | B   |  B   |
B part
 | F#  | F#  | E  | (E) | B  |  B  |
 | F#  | F#  | E  | (E) | F# | F# |

Or, with a capo on the 4th fret:
A part
 | G   | G  C | G   | G   |
 | D   | D   | C   | (C) | G   | G   |
B part
 | D   | D   | C   | (C ) | G  | G   |
 | D   | D   | C   | (C)  | D  | D   |

Tablature:

Guitar (Mike Stangeland version--his goes to a B in the B part where I hear an F#, measure 24)
