Abeline by Lew Dite and the LDsongscreen with accompaniment by lukuleles

"Abeline" is a song Lew Dite taught me to love. This video, lower part singing, and guitar playing are all produced by Lew Dite and can be found on LDsongscreen on youtube. Lew graciously gave me permission to upload this video and my accompaniment of vocals and ukulele. Lew Dite has put a lot of time and effort in ensuring other generations can enjoy older music and accompany other musicians by producing all of these great videos showcasing songs most of us have never had the pleasure to hear. Thanks Lew!

(G) Abilene (B7) Abilene
(C) Prettiest town (G) I've ever seen
(A7) Folks there don't (D7) treat you mean
In (G) Abilene (C) my Abi (G) lene (D7)

(G) Crowded city (B7) ain't nothing free
(C) Nothing in this (G) town for me
(A7) How I wish that (D7) I could be
In (G) Abilene (C) my Abi (G) lene (D7)

(G) Abilene (B7) Abilene
(C) Prettiest town (G) I've ever seen
(A7) Folks there don't (D7) treat you mean
In (G) Abilene (C) my Abi (G) lene (D7)

(G) Abilene (B7) Abilene
(C) Prettiest town (G) I've ever seen
(A7) Folks there don't (D7) treat you mean
In (G) Abilene (C) my Abi (G) lene (D7)

(G) I sit alone (B7) most every night
I (C) watch the train (G) roll out of sight
(A7) How I wish it was (D7) carrying me
Back to (G) Abilene (C) my Abi (G) lene (D7)

(G) Abilene (B7) Abilene
(C) Prettiest town (G) I've ever seen
(A7) Folks there don't (D7) treat you mean
In (G) Abilene (C) my Abi (G) lene (D7) (G)
