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

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

G Em C Am
Oh, Abilene, Abilene
