Lincolns Funeral Train (acoustic)

	  		
Intro: Em Em Dsus4 D (x4) 


verse 1 

G 
On the twenty-first of April 
    D 
Eighteen and sixty-five 

The Three-Thirty-One left Washington 
    C         Csus2      Em 
For Lincoln's last train ride 

G 
Cannons boomed, the bonfires burned 
                    D 
The evergreens wore grey, Three-Thirty-One, in the morning sun 
    C            Csus2   Em 
The hearse, that journey made 


Em  Em/F# G                   D            A   A7sus4 
See that  train comin', boys, rollin' down Main 
C                Csus2                   D                 Em 
Draped in black, she won't be back; it's Lincoln's funeral train 
Em   Em/F# G              D                             A   A7sus4 
With a     portrait of a martyred man, shot down by a traitor 
C                     Csus2               D           Em 
Now toll the bell and bid farewell to the Great Emancipator 



Instrumental Em Em Dsus4 D (x4) 


verse 2 

G 
Crowds jammed the streets for a final look 
       D 
At the great man who had stood 

At the country's helm, through the bitter war 
     C          Csus2 Em                   
That seemed of little good 

G 
Felled by the bullet of John Wilkes Booth 
                   D 
As the battle died away, his guiding spirit to reconciled 
   C       Csus2      Em 
By absence brought dismay 


Em  Em/F# G                   D            A   A7sus4 
See that  train comin', boys, rollin' down Main 
C                Csus2                   D                 Em 
Draped in black, she won't be back; it's Lincoln's funeral train 
Em   Em/F# G              D                             A   A7sus4 
With a     portrait of a martyred man, shot down by a traitor 
C                     Csus2               D           Em 
Now toll the bell and bid farewell to the Great Emancipator
