Abe Lincoln Tabs & Lyrics by Bishop Allen
Abe Lincoln
guitar tabs lyrics
The reason I wrote the chords for this song (My first tab ever) is because I can't even
the lyrics on the internet.
If anyone else knows this song and the lyrics please email me at [email protected]
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.
