Chords: G,C,Em,Am,C,D
on the [G]sunday after the mason [C]dance
it?s the [G]one day I can rem[C]ember when
I felt so [G]pure and really at pe[C]ace with myself
I was in l[G]ove, the sun sang down vic[C]torious
but the [Em]truth is that [G]I have no [Am]faith in happi[D]ness
it turns to f[Em]ear, draws the d[G]evils near
so I[Am] jumped the f[D]ence
C (walk down to Am)
and went out west

Back to verse chords:
"Abilene
got a sales job as a pharmaceutical rep
lived out of hotels, rental cars and a stowable bag
I drove all day ? from hospital pacing and clinic sweats
I drove all night ? I couldn?t ever sleep now anyway"
Chorus:
"I tried, but the old devils, they found me in my room
I hid under the covers and cried out as they tore off my sheets
so I went east"
Verse:
"Vietnam
I?m long gone
I?m up the river
way past Mekong"
Chorus:
"but the old devils, they found me in my hut
they poured through the windows, they cornered me
and I cried out, to no one: ?I give up.?
End on Am
