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

Forget everything

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

Forget everything
F# D#m B G#m
Abilene.
