D                                        G            D
Well they shot him in the back seat of a Lincoln limousine

                                 E            A7
Was a great, great leader by the name of Kennedy

   D                                      G
He fought for right and freedom, tried to keep this nation clean

                                  E                  A7
But a twenty dollar rifle cut the life of this great man

He had a lovely wife and two children seldom seen

But they shot him in the backseat of a Lincoln limousine

                                     E                A7
Oh Lord it would have been better if he had stayed at home

     D                               G
This nation is a great place but one fact still remains

          D      E         D      G        D    G    D
That they shot a president in the backseat of a limousine

D                                G               D
And this man he did not die on a far and distant shore

                          E7                  A7
He died at Dallas Texas a place not known for war

This country is supposed to be the land of the brave and free

But they shot him in the backseat of a Lincoln limousine
[Verse 6]
D                                  G
And the moral of the story that it really has no end

   D                           G                        D
It goes to show you never know who's your enemy or your friend

He fought for right and freedom tried to keep this nation clean

But they shot him in the backseat of that Lincoln limousine
