A E D
[Chorus 1]
A E D Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here A E Bm The Republic's changed a lot in a hundred years A E D And I don't think it's workin' like you planned A E Bm Oh, Mr. Lincoln, we could use a hand
[Verse 1]
D A G I just read the headlines in The Nashville News D A Em And I wish I'd made this up but I'm afraid it's true D A G 'Cause a man was murdered for his money in the street D A Em 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 Em He pled insanity like they do now all the time D A Em 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 Em It's the latest thing, Mr. Lincoln, can you believe? D A G Now they sue the manufacturers of the guns D A Em Ain't the law changed a lot since 1861?
[Chorus 2]
A E D Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here A E Bm 'Cause things have changed a lot in a hundred years A E D And I don't think it's workin' out like you planned A E Bm Hey, Mr. Lincoln, we sure could use a hand
[Verse 2]
D A G I just heard the news story on the radio D A Em They let dangerous men out of prisons now, yes sir I'm afraid it's so D A G 'Cause they're overcrowded, and it was only his fifth offense D A Em Yeah, and this time he's killed someone does that make any sense? D A G Now, my lawyer called me about a nuisance case D A Em '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 Em He said, "You're living in the past, you romantic fool" D A G I said, "You've got that right, I lean toward the older ways D A Em And there's damn few backwoods lawyers left today"
[Chorus 1]
A E D Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here A E Bm The Republic's changed a lot in a hundred years A E D And I don't think it's workin' like you planned A E Bm Hey, Mr. Lincoln, we sure could use a hand
[Chorus 2]
A E D Mr. Lincoln, please, could you come here? A E Bm 'Cause things have changed a lot in a hundred years A E D And I don't think it's workin' out like you planned A E Bm Mr. Lincoln, we sure could use a hand
