Intro
D Bm G Em (4x)
[Verse 1]
D
There's a greyhound bus
A
Leavin' the great Northwest
D
Takin' her tonight
A
Back down south to Texas
G
She's been dancin' on tables
To pay rent and be able
Em
To just get by and maybe stay clean.
[Chorus]
D Bm G Em
Abilene, Abilene
D Bm G Em
Abilene, Abilene.
[Verse 2]
D
Well her daddy'd get drunk
A
Then he'd hit her hard
D
And her mama'd lie in bed
A
High on pills and talkin' to God
G
But like her beautiful tattoos
These old memories she can't lose
Em
Since she ran away at fifteen.
[Chorus]
D Bm
Abilene, Abilene
G Em D Bm
There's a town ahead that you've never seen
G Em G Em
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to
G G
Forget everything
D Bm G Em
Abilene.
[Verse 3]
D
Starin' out the window
Bm
At the long cold night
D
Ahead on the horizon
Bm
Is another string of bright lights
G
She's dreamin' of a man she's goin' to meet
In a bar on an Austin street
Em
Maybe this one won't be so mean.
[Chorus]
D Bm
Abilene, Abilene
G Em D Bm
There's a town ahead that you've never seen
G Em G Em
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to
G G
Forget everything
D Bm G Em
Abilene.

[Verse 4]
D Bm
In a Texas bar there's a man sittin' alone
D Bm
Thinkin' of a girl he swore he'd wait there for
G
But he's drinkin' beers and he's feelin' old
Rememberin' every lie he's told
Bm
'Til he changes his mind and he leaves.
[Chorus]
D Bm
Abilene, Abilene
G Em D Bm
There's a town ahead that you've never seen
G Em G Em
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to
G G
Forget everything
D Bm G Em
Abilene.

D Bm G Em
Oh, Abilene, Abilene
