Chords for Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow - "Abilene" (with intro - 2002)

Well, I just can't say what a great pleasure it is to be up here with one of my biggest _
inspirations and to have him sing in my songs. _ _
And I get to sing some of his, which is awesome.
This is a song that I actually wrote a couple albums ago and we just never got around to
putting it out.
I mean, I feel ridiculous talking about I have like four albums out and he's got like,
what do you have, Willie?
I've had four this year.
I _ _ _ just made that up.
Touche.
I told him every time I come out here with him, it's like a good old fashioned thing.
Good old fashioned schooling or actually a very good old fashioned ass kicking.
_ This is a song called Abilene and it could be about a person.
It could be Abilene, Texas.
It could be a state of mind.
But this is in honor of the man who lives in Austin, [E] which isn't very [D] far from Abilene. _

_ _ Can't you see I'm holding your flag?
_ The one that you left on the ground.
_ [Em] Well, is the [D] world too heavy [A] for you?
And if it [Em] makes you feel bad, [D] I'll carry it too.
[A] Cause no one's gonna stand in your life.
_ _ [D] Oppressions are easy [A] to fight.
_ [Em] But until you [D] turn to me [A] and say, you [Em] don't _ _ [Bm] [D] need to carry the weight, I will stay.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ Abilene, _ [D] bringing all our [A] hope to me.

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ Can't you see I'm wearing your shirt?
_ _ [D] The one with the heart [A] on the sleeve.
_ _ [Em] Now everyone [D] can see [A] you've been hurt.
[Em] Abilene, _ don't [D] give up on [A] me.
_ You're gonna make up your mind.
_ When you're gonna get out of bed.
_ _ [Em] _ Everyday [D] you're gonna [A] find _ broken [Em] promises.
[D] I know words never said.
_ _ _ [Bm] _
