_ _ _ _ [D] When _ _
[A] Abilene _ _ [G] was young [D] and gay,
_ _ _ And _
[A] _ _ _ [G] thunderstorms filled up [D] the day,
_ _ [G] The cattle [D] _ _ roamed [G] _ outside the town,
_ _ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ sun, _ _ _ _ _
Then tracks were [A] laid _
[G] _ across [D] the plains, _ _
By broken [A] old men _
[G] in torrid [D] rain, _
[G] The towns [D] grew up, _ _
[G] _ people were [D] still, _ _
[A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun, _

[F] And all joined [G] in, _ [Bb] and we're all [D] old hands, _
[F] Yes, we've all [G] joined in, _ [Bb] to run the [A] _ land,
[G] That _ soldiers once, _ _

[A] Sleeping in the midday [Em] sun, _ _

Sleeping in the [D] midday sun, _ _
_ _ _ _ Gold came [A] and went, _ [G] _ _ quickly [D] spent,
_ The people broke [A] down, _ [G] _ and often [D] drowned,
_ From [G] wealth and the [D] pain, _ [G] of old _ _
[D] Abilene,
_ [A] They were sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ _ Sleeping in the midday [D] sun,
_ _ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ _ Sleeping in the [D] midday sun,
_ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ Sleeping in the midday [D] sun,
_ _ [A] Sleeping in the midday [Em] sun,
_ Sleeping in the midday [D] _ sun,
[A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun.
