A7 D
[Verse 1]
D All you young cowboys, come gather around A7 I'll tell you a story of Abilene town
Of two young lovers as true lovers know
D
The girl in this story is Abilene Rose[Chorus]
A7 D Rose, Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D Your memory still lives in my heart A7 D Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D We promised we never would part
[Verse 2]
D Rose was so pretty in her gingham gown A7 She was the fairest in Abilene town
Her eyes were as bright as the stars up above
D
Everyone knew when she chose me to love[Chorus]
A7 D Rose, Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D Your memory still lives in my heart A7 D Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D We promised we never would part
[Verse 3]
D We courted each other out under the moon A7 We planned to be married the first days of June
Then I started drinkin' and gamblin', you see
D
I broke her young heart and then she left me[Chorus]
A7 D Rose, Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D Your memory still lives in my heart A7 D Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D We promised we never would part
[Verse 4]

She was as happy as happy could be

With her young cowboy and their family[Chorus]
A7 D Rose, Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D Your memory still lives in my heart A7 D Rose, Abilene Rose A7 D We promised we never would part
[Verse 5]
