Intro
Intro Verse
ch]A[/ch
Every town has its town bum, I guess
ch]A[/ch
Ours had one
ch]A[/ch
Here's a song about him; I remember him fondly well
ch]A[/ch
His name was Abner Brown
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I knew an old drunk named Abner Brown
ch]E7[/ch
Nobody knew when he came to town
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But he spread goodwill to his fellow men
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And they let him sleep in the cotton gin
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He could drink more brew than an army could
ch]E7[/ch
But he had more friends and he did more good
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Than a lot of fine, fancy people in our town
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
So they tolerated Abner Brown
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And all us kids were on his side
ch]E7[/ch
'cause he told us tales 'til our eyes grew wide
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And he made us feel about ten feet tall
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
'cause he had no kids but he claimed us all
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And after school and on weekends
ch]E7[/ch
You could find me down at the cotton gin
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
The truest friend that I ever found
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Was a good old drunk named Abner Brown
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Abner Brown, I wish that I could see you once again
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
I believe that you'd stack up with all the mighty men
ch]A[/ch
I've met and known in all the low
ch]D[/ch
And higher places that I've been
ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Thinking of you picks me up when I'm feeling down (down low)
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Lord, take me back to the cotton land
ch]E7[/ch
To Arkansas, take me home again
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Let me be the boy that I once have been
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Let me walk that road to the cotton gin
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He's probably dead many years ago
ch]E7[/ch
And gone the way that old drunks go
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But I'd still like to sit me down
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Talk to my old friend Abner Brown
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Abner Brown, I wish that I could see you once again
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
I believe that you'd stack up with all the mighty men
ch]A[/ch
I've met and known in all the low
ch]D[/ch
And higher places that I've been
ch]A[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Thinking of you picks me up when I'm feeling down (down low)
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown
