Capo 2

D                         A
Thumbing through some magazines 
                  Bm
Colored panoramic scenes of destinations 
G              A                 D
Underneath the Greyhound station sign
                              A
The world is changing all the time 
                       Bm
Nothing ever changed inside of my apartment
          G               A
'Cept for faded walls and weathered carpet


Chorus: 
    Bm                          G
And I’ll be thirty-one with the rising of the sun
Bm                             A
Thirty years is long enough to dream
      D               A
St Abilene watch over me
        Bm                            G
Keep me safe, make me strong, help me see
D               A            Bm        G
May you keep me company when company I need
           D  A      D 
Watch over me St. Abilene

I’ve seen them come and I’ve seen them go 
And all I’ve ever had to show for my existence 
Are the fair-thee-wells and I’ll be missing you’s
But I don’t think they really do 
Fading out into the blue and white horizon 
Must be nothing short of mystifying


Chorus 

Chorus 2:
I’ll be thirty-one with the rising of the sun
Riding on the western bound machine
St. Abilene, watch over me
Keep me safe, make me strong, help me see
May you keep me company when company I need
St. Abilene. Watch over me, St. Abilene
