[Intro]
A [Verse]
A Sweet Abilena looked out
at the midwestern sky A Sweet seventeen with
a far away look in her eyes D She said "I feel like
C
a bird in a cage D "But come September
C
I'm flying away." A I said "I'll miss you," then
I made her promise to write [Chorus]
E Since we were tall as
the corn in the spring D We shared every secret,
shared every dream E So anxious to grow in
the new summer rain C And bloom like a rose on
D A
the calico plains [Verse]
A How could she hear as
we laughed on that long summer night A The tiny heart of the baby
she carried inside D I stood beside her
C
when September came D Watched her get married,
C
then caught the bouquet A And like those hand-me-down
dresses she gave me A I made her dreams mine [Chorus]
E From a seat by the window
on wings made of steel D I stared at the patchwork
over the fields E Where young tears that
once flowed like warm summer rain C Were turning to snow on
D A
the calico plains [Solo]
Em D C Bm A
Em D C G D A [Verse]
A Sweet Abilena looks out
at the midwestern sky A Closer to thirty,
but farther away in her eyes D She holds her babies like
C
she holds her dreams D Each night she kisses and
C
rocks them to sleep A While she reads the letters
she makes me promise to write [Outro]
A Sweet Abilena looks out at
Em A
the midwestern sky
