[bergerac]

If you listen to I wish it uses some of the words and structure from this song - familiar from guitar books.

Artist: George Hamilton Tabs/Chords
Song: Abeline Tab


Someone wanted the song, Abilene, here is my version of the song Written by
John D. Loudermilk and Brown and Gibson. Recorded by George Hamilton IV,
March 20, 1963 You have to sing this about half out of meter! Have fun, Tim
Ausburn.

ABELINE Key of F

Chorus:
(C7) Abi - (F) lene, Abi -(A) lene,
(Bb) prettiest town you've ever (F) seen,
Women (G7) there don't treat you (C7) mean,
In Abi -(F) lene, (Bb) my Abi -(F) lene. (C7)

First verse:
I sit a -(F) lone most every (A) night,
Watch those (Bb) trains pull out'a (F) sight,
Don't I (G7) wish they were (C7) carrying me,
Back to (F) Abilene, (Bb) sweet Abi -(F) lene. (C7)

Repeat chorus:

Second verse:
Crowded (F) city, there ain't (A) nothin' free,
Nothin' (Bb) in this town for (F) me,
Wish to the (G7) Lord that (C7) I could be,
In (F) Abilene, sweet Abi -(F) lene. (C7)

Chorus:
Abi -(F) lene, Abi -(A) lene,
Prettiest (Bb) town you've ever (F) seen,
Women (G7) there don't treat you (C7) mean,
In Abi -(F) lene, (Bb) my Abi -(F) lene.

Tag: Women (G7) there don't treat you (C7) mean,
In Abi -(F) lene, (Bb) my Abi -(F) lene.

The version I know is a blues.

E / Ab / A / F# / B / - E / A / E / B7

If you use E / Ab / A /F# For no money in my pocket you see and skank it up you'll get the idea.

Improve on this please.

Bergerac.
