St Abilene Chords

(ver. 1)
Drew Kennedy
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
    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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
    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
