G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7 D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G

Verse 1:
   G+G       G/F#     E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
Round here it's the bills and the lack of jobs
     C majorC     D MajorD   G+G
That dominates our table talks
   G+G      G/F#  E minor 7Em7   D MajorD
But tonight as I buttered up my bread
    C majorC         D MajorD   G+G
Momma said, "guess who I saw at Walt's?"
  G+G    G/F#    E minor 7Em7    D MajorD
I heard her name, and I felt the pain
    C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
Of excitement and regret
G+G     G/F# E minor 7Em7  D MajorD
Just like that, in my mind,
    C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
I was twenty-one again

Pre Chorus:
A minorAm              D MajorD
I wonder if I'm the reason why

Chorus:
   G+G   G/F#  E minor 7Em7
That Becky's back in Birmingham
  C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
I bet she never left
 G+G          E minor 7Em7
I doubt this place is in my heart
   C majorC      D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
That Becky never left
  A minorAm       D MajorD
I wonder if she's hummin'
     C majorC    C/BC/B   A minorAm
Our old song "The Way I Am"
     C majorC       D MajorD    G+G
Now that Becky's back in Birmingham

Verse 2:
    G+G     G/F#  E minor 7Em7    D MajorD
Yeah, I guess she never caught that dream
   Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD    G+G
That she left here to chase
G+G      G/F#  E minor 7Em7     D MajorD
She's been burning wild through mine
    Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD   G+G
Like a can't-be-put-out flame
    G+G     G/F#   E minor 7Em7    D MajorD
Yeah, I wonder if she got rid of that ring
    Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD   G+G
Or does she have it still?
   G+G    G/F#      E minor 7Em7       D MajorD
Does she ever wish her "no" could have been "yes"?
  Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD   G+G
The way I always will

Pre Chorus:
A minorAm              D MajorD
I guess there's only one way to find out

Chorus:
    G+G   G/F#  E minor 7Em7
While Becky's back in Birmingham
 C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
I bet she never guessed
  G+G    G/F#   E minor 7Em7
I doubt this place is in my heart
   C majorC       D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
That Becky never left
  E minor 7Em7       D MajorD
I wonder if she's thinkin'
     C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm
The same thoughts that I am
 C majorC       D MajorD    G+G
Now that Becky's back in Birmingham

Bridge:
C majorC
Here I stand, reelin'
C majorC
I got that first-time front-porch kiss stealin'
C majorC                          D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
How fallin' feels while she looks into my eyes and smiles

Final Chorus: *Capo moves down to 6*
G+G   G/F#  E minor 7Em7
Yeah, Becky's back in Birmingham
    C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
And a few will never guess
    G+G   G/F#   E minor 7Em7
Yeah, I made a mark on Becky's heart
   C majorC          D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
That she can't quite forget
    E minor 7Em7        D MajorD
Yeah, things are back to being
       C majorC    C/BC/B    A minorAm
The way they always should have been
C majorC       D MajorD    G+G
Now that Becky's back in Birmingham

Becky's back in Birmingham
