Chords 12/8-2013 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E
The verses and choruses all have the same chord progressions, so I'm only
including chords above the first one of each.
Intro:
[D] [A] [G] [Em]
[D]When Abile[A]ne w[G]as young and [D]gay
[D]And thunder sto[A]rms [G]filled up the da[D]y
The c[G]attle roam[D]ed o[G]utside the tow[D]n
[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

Then tracks were lain across the plain
By broken, old men in torrid rain
The towns grew up and the people were still
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
We a[F]ll joined i[G]n and we'll a[Bb]ll hold han[D]ds
Yes, we'll [F]all join i[G]n to help [Bb]run the lan[A]d
Then [G]soldiers once, [Dmaj7]long, long ago
[G]Rode through the town, [Dmaj7]rode down those
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Gold came and went, quickly spent
And the people broke down and often drowned
From wealth and the pain of old Abilene
They were sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
(Repeat chorus until song fades out)
