Intro
F Dm A# Gm (4x)
[Verse 1]
F
There's a greyhound bus
C
Leavin' the great Northwest
F
Takin' her tonight
C
Back down south to Texas
A#
She's been dancin' on tables
To pay rent and be able
Gm
To just get by and maybe stay clean.
[Chorus]
F Dm A# Gm
Abilene, Abilene
F Dm A# Gm
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
A#
But like her beautiful tattoos
These old memories she can't lose
Gm
Since she ran away at fifteen.
[Chorus]
F Dm
Abilene, Abilene
A# Gm F Dm
There's a town ahead that you've never seen
A# Gm A# Gm
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to
A# A#
Forget everything
F Dm A# Gm
Abilene.
[Verse 3]
F
Starin' out the window
Dm
At the long cold night
F
Ahead on the horizon
Dm
Is another string of bright lights
A#
She's dreamin' of a man she's goin' to meet
In a bar on an Austin street
Gm
Maybe this one won't be so mean.
[Chorus]
F Dm
Abilene, Abilene
A# Gm F Dm
There's a town ahead that you've never seen
A# Gm A# Gm
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to
A# A#
Forget everything
F Dm A# Gm
Abilene.
[Bridge]
Dm F A# Gm (3x)
(Slowing) Gm A# Dm F
[Verse 4]
F Dm
In a Texas bar there's a man sittin' alone
F Dm
Thinkin' of a girl he swore he'd wait there for
A#
But he's drinkin' beers and he's feelin' old
Rememberin' every lie he's told
Dm
'Til he changes his mind and he leaves.
[Chorus]
F Dm
Abilene, Abilene
A# Gm F Dm
There's a town ahead that you've never seen
A# Gm A# Gm
Maybe it's better if you get off there and try to
A# A#
Forget everything
F Dm A# Gm
Abilene.
[Outro]
F Dm A# Gm
Oh, Abilene, Abilene
F Dm A# Gm (Repeat and fade)
