Abilene

E        Ab       
Abilene, Abilene, 
          A           E
Prettiest town I ever seen.
F#                B7                 E        A     E
Women there don't treat you mean, In Abilene, my Abilene.

E                      Ab   
I sit alone most every night, 
           A                  E
Watch them trains roll out of sight
F#                  B7              E        A     E
Wish that they were carryin' me, In Abilene, my Abilene.

E                           Ab   
Crowded city, ain't nothin' free, 
            A             E
Nothin' in this town for me
F#               B7             E        A     E
Wish to God that I could be, In Abilene, my Abilene.



E                           Ab   
How I wish that train would come, 
             A            E
Take me back where I come from.
F#            B7               E        A     E
Take me where I want to be, In Abilene, my Abilene.

E                        Ab    
Rotgut whiskey numbs the brain,
               A         E
If I stay here I'll go insane.
F#             B7                  E        A     E
Think I need a change of scene, In Abilene, my Abilene.

E                           Ab    
Outside my window cold rain falls, 
                 A       E
Sit here starin' at the walls;
F#                 B7            E        A     E
If I was home, I'd be serene, In Abilene, my Abilene.
