St Abilene

D A Thumbing through some magazines Bm Colored panoramic scenes of destinations G A D Underneath the Greyhound station sign A The world is changing all the time Bm Nothing ever changed inside of my apartment G A 'Cept for faded walls and weathered carpet Bm G And I’ll be thirty-one with the rising of the sun Bm A Thirty years is long enough to dream D A St Abilene watch over me Bm G Keep me safe, make me strong, help me see D A Bm G May you keep me company when company I need D A D Watch over me St. Abilene D A I’ve seen them come and I’ve seen them go Bm And all I’ve ever had to show for my existence G A D Are the fair-thee-wells and I’ll be missing you’s A But I don’t think they really do Bm Fading out into the blue and white horizon G A Must be nothing short of mystifying Bm G I’ll be thirty-one with the rising of the sun Bm A Riding on the western bound machine D A St. Abilene, watch over me Bm G Keep me safe, make me strong, help me see D A Bm G May you keep me company when company I need D A D St. Abilene. Watch over me, St. Abilene
