Chords

[Chorus]
Bb                 BbM7
Movin' all around, movin' all around

                 Gm               Bb
won't you settle down in this old town

       Eb  F                 Bb        F
On the move, honey that's my groove

Bb                BbM7
travel everywhere breathing in the air

               Gm                Bb
I don't have a care in this old world

            Eb F              Bb
and I feel fine everything is mine
[Verse 1]
Eb                            Bb
Meanwhile back in Abilene the sun is coming up

        F                 F7
And the milkman's making all the rounds

   Bb              Bb7
he made when I was just a pup

Eb                            Bb
Barbershop will open up and Jacksons drugstore too

             F              Eb                    F
And they'll talk about this poor young wandering fool
[Chorus]
Bb                           BbM7
Taking in the sights see the city lights

               Gm               Bb
Smiling at the girls and being cool

       Eb F                 Bb      F
Having fun my life has just begun

Bb                           BbM7
Fishing in the stream with a piece of string

                Gm               Bb
All I catch is turtles and old boots

             Eb F                 Bb
And I don't mind cos I'm feeling fine
[Verse 2]
Eb                             Bb
Meanwhile back in Abilene the sun is going down

        F                          F7           Bb     Bb7
And the drive-in restaurant's the only place to go to hear a sound

Eb                                 Bb
Drive-in crowd know each and everyone by their first name

              F             Eb                F
And they'll talk about me wonderin' if I've changed
[Chorus]
Bb                 BbM7
Movin' all around, movin' all around

                 Gm               Bb
won't you settle down in this old town

       Eb  F                 Bb      F
On the move, honey that's my groove
