Abilene On Her Mind

	  		G  Em  C  D 
  
G      
She said her mind was made up, 
Em 
As she put on her makeup, 
Am                               D 
Said there was nothin' here for her. 
G           
She just packed up her suitcase,  
Em             
And she walked right out that front gate 
Am                            D 
With her taxi waitin' at the curb. 
  
Am                                D 
Too many empty nights alone, too late I realized. 
Am                                       C            D 
It's a cryin' shame it took her tears to open up my eyes... 


       G            Em9            Cadd9     D 
- I should've seen Abilene on her mind. 
G                     Em9           Am     D 
Her leavin' me and Tennessee far behind. 
 Am  
Should've seen her growin' lonely,  
      F 
All alone and waitin' on me. 
         Am                                 D 
All the warnin' signs were there but I was blind. 
             Am      D           G        
I should've seen Abilene on her mind...  - 
  
  
G 
Last night the Band played Dallas 
Em                                           
I sang a song I wrote about us 
Am                                    D 
And you could feel the sadness in the air 
G 
After the show was over 
Em 
I felt a hand there on my shoulder 
Am                                      D 
Turned around and found her standin' there 
          Am 
She said after all these years 
             D 
Its nice to know your dreams came true 
          Am                                  C         D 
And the wedding band on her hand told me that hers had too 
  
       G            Em9            Cadd9     D 
- I should've seen Abilene on her mind. 
G                     Em9           Am     D 
Her leavin' me and Tennessee far behind. 
 Am  
Should've seen her growin' lonely,  
      F 
All alone and waitin' on me. 
         Am                                 D 
All the warnin' signs were there but I was blind. 
             Am      D           G   Em9      
I should've seen Abilene on her mind...   
             Am      D           G        Em9 
I should've seen Abilene on her mind... 
  Am   D           G      Em9   Am   D   G 
Abilene   on her mind. -
