Abilene



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



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



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



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



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



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