Intro
[D] [A] [G] [Em]
[D]When [A]Abilene [G]was young and [D]gay
[D]And thunder [A]storms [G]filled up the [D]day
The [G]cattle [D]roamed [G]outside the [D]town
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
[D]Then tracks were [A]lain [G]across the [D]plain
[D]By broken, old [A]men [G]in torrid [D]rain
[G]The towns grew [D]up and the [G]people were [D]still
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
We [F]all joined [G]in and we'll [Bb]all hold [D]hands
Yes, we'll [F]all join [G]in to help [Bb]run the [A]land
Then [G]soldiers once, [Dmaj7]long, long ago
[G]Rode through the town, [Dmaj7]rode down those
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
[D]Gold came and [A]went, [G]quickly [D]spent
[D]And the people broke [A]down [G]and often [D]drowned
[G]From wealth and the [D]pain [G]of old [D]Abilene
They were
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
[A]Sleeping in the midday [Em]sun
Sleeping in the midday [D]sun
