Intro: Bm 
Verse: 
F#m			A 
The stars up here don’t burn as bright 
Em		        Bm 
Nothin seems the same 
F#m		      A 
I wake up to the same old place 
G		  A 
It don’t ever change 

F#m			   A 
I can see those night we used to watch  
Em			Bm 
The fireflies dancin round 
F#m			A 
If I close my eyes in no time at all 
G	                    A 
I’m back in that old town 

Chorus: 
 D/F#		      G       D 
In my heart I’m in Abilene 
D		                  Bm 
Where life don’t treat you quite so mean 
Bm	        D/F#	G	     D 
It’s you and me on a front porch swing 
D		       A 
Watchin the sun go down 
A	    D/F# 	G       D 
Can’t you feel the summer breeze 
D			Bm 
Blowin through the grass so green 
Bm			   Gm             A 
Though I’m sittin here in Tennessee 
A		          D 
In my heart I’m in Abilene 

Verse: 
Lately when I talk to you  
I can’t remember why I’m gone 
But it don’t matter anyhow 
I barely notice I’m not home
