Chorus:
A E D
Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here
A E D
The Republics changed alot in a hundred years
A E D
I don't think its working like you planned
A E D
Mr Lincoln we sure could use a hand
Verse:
D A G
I just read the headlines in the Nashville News
D A G
And I wish i made this up but im afraid its true
D A G
Cause a man was murdered for his money in the street
D A G
He was takin his wife to a nice place to eat
D A G
When they caught the man he did 23 months of time
D A G
He plead insanity like they do now all the time
D A G
Sir what would you have done in 1859
D A G
now if you shoot someone sir you can get off scott free
D A G
its the latest thing mr Lincoln can you believe
D A G
Now they sue the manufactures of the guns
D A E
aint the law changed alot since 1861
Repeat chorus
D A G
I just heard the new story on the radio
D A G
they let dangerous men outta prison now yes sir im afraid its so
D A G
cause theyre overcrowded and it was only his fifth offense
D A
G
and this time hes killed someone does that make any sense
D A G
Now my lawyer called me about a nuisance case
D A G
Cause everybody sues over any little thing these days
D A G
well at least we're right all we gotta do is tell the truth
D A G
he said youre living in the past you romantic fool
D A G
i said you got that right i lean toward the older ways
D A E
And theres damn few back woods lawyers left today
repeat chorus 2x
