Abe Lincoln Tab

by Bishop Allen


The reason I wrote the chords for this song (My first tab ever) is because I can't even 
the lyrics on the internet.
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:

            
Abe lincoln, God Bless him,
               
Did his best to end depression
             
Good thinker, Smart Talker
              
Very Tall man, Very Fast Walker
        
Oh lord, What a shame
                
Got shot down by his three right men
                             
Oh lord, Where are you now?

Verse 2:

    
RFK, God bless him,
               
Did his best to end depression
        
Oh yeah, his brother too
                     
Their hearts was big, though their blood was blue
        
Oh lord, what a shame
              
Sirhan Sirhan, Had such good aim
              
Got shot down by his three right name
                                  
Kennedy Boys, where are you now?

Bridge: (Only hit the octaves of notes, with 1 1/8th rest in between each 1/8th note)


In heaven,

In heaven,

In heaven,
                        
You're in heaven now

Solo:
Same progression as bridge (I think it's a harmonica)
I just solo in the key of C, something mellow


Verse 3:
       
M L K , God bless him
          
Malcolm X, God bless him
               
Mahatma Gandhi, God Bless him
            
John Lesson, God bless him
        
Oh lord, what a shame,
                      
Got gunned down at the height of their fame
                                       
We need you boys, where are you now?


Outro:
              
Ronald Reagan, why oh why?
                             
How did he manage to slide on by?
