This is what they said was the chords on their YouTube video. I tried it out and it 
(Verse 1)
CSaw her on the sidewalk sellin' lemonade
AmHer name was Jessica, we were in the third grade
FShe had style, she was cute
GIn her stonewashed jeans and her jelly shoes
CWithin a week a was callin' her my girlfriend
AmThat's when I started to neglect my teddy Rufspin
FWe spent a lot of time talkin' on the phone
GAnd watchin' classic films like Home Alone
CShe put Brian Adams on a mixed tape for me
AmThen in fourth grade she started to ignore me
FShe got into makeup, I got into kickball
GIt was a messy breakup
(Chorus)
AmRed Rover (RFed Rover)
CMe and Jessica are Gover
AmShe broke my heart and hFurt my wrist
CWith her snap bracGelet
AmRed Rover (RFed Rover)
CMe and Jessica are Gover
AmAnd I don't think I'll ever fall in lFove againG  
At least not 'till I'm tCen
(Verse 2)
CShe asked me to dance at the Halloween party
AmI was Jake the snake and she was Tanya Harding
FThe next day when I asked her out
GShe said I can't right now I gotta watch full house
CSo pretty soon things got a little messy
AmShe found a new guy, he looked like Uncle Jesse
FI should've known right from the start
GWhile I played Nintendo she played with my heart
CWhen we were young we took so much for granted
AmLike Hootie and the Blowfish and Pluto as a planet
FShe's alone in Wal-Mart
GShe should not have broken my heart
(Chorus)
AmRed Rover (RFed Rover)
CMe and Jessica are Gover
AmShe broke my heart and mFade me sick
CWith mononuGcleosis
AmRed Rover (RFed Rover)
CMe and Jessica are Gover
AmAnd I don't think I'll ever fall in lFove againG  
At least not 'till I'm tCen

This is what they said was the chords on their YouTube video. I tried it out and it

(Verse 1)

Saw her on the sidewalk sellin' lemonade

Her name was Jessica, we were in the third grade

She had style, she was cute

In her stonewashed jeans and her jelly shoes

Within a week a was callin' her my girlfriend

That's when I started to neglect my teddy Rufspin

We spent a lot of time talkin' on the phone

And watchin' classic films like Home Alone

She put Brian Adams on a mixed tape for me

Then in fourth grade she started to ignore me

She got into makeup, I got into kickball

It was a messy breakup

(Chorus)

Am F

Red Rover (Red Rover)

C G

Me and Jessica are over

Am F

She broke my heart and hurt my wrist

C G

With her snap bracelet

Am F

Red Rover (Red Rover)

C G

Me and Jessica are over

Am F G

And I don't think I'll ever fall in love again

At least not 'till I'm ten

(Verse 2)

She asked me to dance at the Halloween party

I was Jake the snake and she was Tanya Harding

The next day when I asked her out

She said I can't right now I gotta watch full house

So pretty soon things got a little messy

She found a new guy, he looked like Uncle Jesse

I should've known right from the start

While I played Nintendo she played with my heart

When we were young we took so much for granted

Like Hootie and the Blowfish and Pluto as a planet

She's alone in Wal-Mart

She should not have broken my heart

(Chorus)

Am F

Red Rover (Red Rover)

C G

Me and Jessica are over

Am F

She broke my heart and made me sick

C G

With mononucleosis

Am F

And I don't think I'll ever fall in love again

At least not 'till I'm ten
