[Verse 1]
                D      G                 D
It was a foggy mornin',   south of San Jose
         D            A       Bm                Em              G
We were sittin' in a crowded coffee shop, with nothin' left to say
    D                   Em                      F#m                     G
My cup grew cold and a teardrop rolled down her cheek and I brushed it away
      G            A              D
I remember it all just like yesterday

[Chorus]
D     F#m     G              D
And I see it now, I feel it still
        G             A             D
It's a day I can't forget and never will
D     F#m       G                       D    F
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
    Em      F#m      G            A               D   Em7  F#m  A
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean


[Verse 2]
A              D                    G        D
Still see her wavin'   through the radiator steam
D                A       Bm              Em             G
She was stranded by the roadside, on her way to bigger things
               D                      Em                        F#m        G
She threw her bags in back, said she liked my hat, her name was Marilyn Justine
  G              A          D
I fell into her California dream

[Chorus]
D     F#m     G              D
And I see it now, I feel it still
        G            A              D
It's a day I can't forget and never will
D      F#m       G                      D    F
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
    Em      F#m      G           A                D
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean

[Bridge]
         G                           D
Yeah we took a lotta detours on our windin' way out west
G               A         Bm                  A
Livin' for the moment, forgettin' all the rest
     G                                 D     A     Bm
The life that she had waitin' and the one I left behind
            Em                                    A
And now I'm back here tryin' to sort it out, one fence post at a time
         D                                                    G
In that coffee shop, the road just stopped, and we faced reality
                              A               D
The place that she was goin' had no place for me

[Chorus]
D     F#m     G              D
And I see it now, I feel it still
        G             A              D
It's a day I can't forget and never will
D     F#m        G                     D     F
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
    Em      F#m       G          A                 D
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
G        A                D
Yeah, I called her Norma Jean
