Intro Am 

verse 1 
Am                    G          Am 
There is a place that I used to go 
Am                     G    Am 
Given its name by the buffalo 
C                G         Am 
Filled me up and eased my pain 
Am                 G        Am 
Washed my soul without the rain 

Am                     C         G 
Oh, Aberdeen, you been calling to me 
C            G                Am 
Calling me to make my way back home 
        Am 
To that cool summer breeze 
          C      G 
And those old evergreens 
    C            G           Am 
The only place to rest my weary bones 

verse 2 
Am                    G      Am 
Soon I will go and free my heart 
        Am               G           Am 
To that sage and stone beneath the stars 
C                   G       Am 
Clear my mind and float my soul 
   Am               G Am 
To lay down all my sorrows 
 
Am                     C         G 
Oh, Aberdeen, you been calling to me 
C            G                Am 
Calling me to make my way back home 
        Am 
To that cool summer breeze 
          C      G 
And those old evergreens 
    C            G           Am 
The only place to rest my weary bones
