Abilene




F        A        Bb                     F
Abilene, Abilene, Prettiest town I ever seen.
G                 C                  F        Bb    F
Women there don't treat you mean, In Abilene, my Abilene.



F                      A      Bb                            F
I sit alone most every night, Watch them trains roll out of sight
G                   C               F        Bb    F
Wish that they were carryin' me, To Abilene, my Abilene.



F                           A     Bb                       F
Crowded city, ain't nothin' free, Nothin' in this town for me
G                C              F        Bb    F
Wish to God that I could be, In Abilene, my Abilene.



F                           A     Bb                        F
How I wish that train would come, Take me back where I come from.
G             C                F        Bb    F
Take me where I want to be, In Abilene, my Abilene.



F                        A      Bb                       F
Rotgut whiskey numbs the brain, If I stay here I'll go insane.
G              C                   F        Bb    F
Think I need a change of scene, To Abilene, my Abilene.



F                           A      Bb                      F
Outside my window cold rain falls, Sit here starin' at the walls;
G                  C             F        Bb    F
If I was home, I'd be serene, In Abilene, my Abilene.
