There is a place that I

used to go
DmGDm
Given its name by the buffalo

Filled me up and eased my pain
AmGDm
Washed my soul without the rain

Oh, Aberdeen,

you been calling to me
AmGDm
Calling me to make my way back home

To that cool summer breeze
GAm
And those old evergreens

The only place to rest
Am
my weary bones

Soon I will go and free my heart
DmG
To that sage and stone beneath
Dm
the stars
CGDm
Clear my mind and float my soul
DmGDm
To lay down all my sorrows
[Chorus]AmGDm
Oh, Aberdeen, you been calling to me
AmGDm
Calling me to make my way back home
AmC
To that cool summer breeze
GAm
And those old evergreens
CG
The only place to rest
Am
my weary bones, oh
