C        E7
Abilene, Abilene
F                  C
Prettiest town I'veever seen
D7                 G7
People there don't treat you mean
        C        F   C   G7
In  Abi-lene, my Abi-lene

C               E7
Sit alone, most every night
F                       C
Watch those trains pull out of sight
D7                     G7
Don't I wish they were carry-in' me
             C         F   C   G7
Back to  Abi-lene, my  Abi-lene

C        E7
Abilene, Abilene
F              C
Prettiest town I've ever seen
D7                 G7
People there don't treat you mean
       C        F   C   G7
In Abi-lene, my Abi-lene

C             E7
Crowded city, there ain't nothin'free
F               C
Nothin' in this town for me
D7                    G7
Wish to the Lord that I could be
       C           F   C   G7
In Abi-lene, sweet Abi-lene

C        E7
Abilene, Abilene
F              C
Prettiest town I've ever seen
D7                 G7
People there don't treat you mean
   C           F   C   C6
In Abilene, my Abi-lene
