G C

on the sunday after the mason dance

G C

it’s the one day I can remember when

G C

I felt so pure and really at peace with myself

G C

I was in love, the sun sang down victorious

Em G Am D

but the truth is that I have no faith in happiness

Em G

it turns to fear, draws the devils near

Am D

so I jumped the fence

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
