Abe Lincoln


The reason I wrote the chords for this song (My first tab ever) is because I can't even the lyrics on the internet. If anyone else knows this song and the lyrics please email me at lmnt1080@verizon.net any corrections. Trying to find these lyrics was like writing a history report on presidential assassinations. I play this on acoustic to woo the political science ladies. -------------------------------------------------------------- Verse 1: C G Abe lincoln, God Bless him, C G Did his best to end depression C G Good thinker, Smart Talker F Em Very Tall man, Very Fast Walker F G Oh lord, What a shame C F Got shot down by his three right men C G C F G Oh lord, Where are you now?
