Intro
A F#m D Bm (4x)
[Verse 1]
A
There's a greyhound bus
E
Leavin' the great Northwest
A
Takin' her tonight
E
Back down south to Texas
D
She's been dancin' on tables
To pay rent and be able
Bm
To just get by and maybe stay clean.
[Chorus]
A F#m D Bm
Abilene, Abilene
A F#m D Bm
Abilene, Abilene.
[Verse 2]
A
Well her daddy'd get drunk
E
Then he'd hit her hard
A
And her mama'd lie in bed
E
High on pills and talkin' to God
D
But like her beautiful tattoos
These old memories she can't lose
Bm
Since she ran away at fifteen.
[Chorus]
A F#m
Abilene, Abilene

[Verse 3]
A
Starin' out the window
F#m
At the long cold night
A
Ahead on the horizon
F#m
Is another string of bright lights
D
She's dreamin' of a man she's goin' to meet
In a bar on an Austin street
Bm
Maybe this one won't be so mean.
[Chorus]

Abilene, Abilene

[Verse 4]
A F#m
In a Texas bar there's a man sittin' alone
A F#m
Thinkin' of a girl he swore he'd wait there for
D
But he's drinkin' beers and he's feelin' old
Rememberin' every lie he's told
F#m
'Til he changes his mind and he leaves.
[Chorus]
A F#m
Abilene, Abilene
D Bm A F#m
There's a town ahead that you've never seen

Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to
