Song To Abe Lincoln Chords

(ver. 1)
Roky Erickson
G              D 
We are all so special 


           Em                  B 
some don't realize, others realize it 


C               G 
but we won't forget or miss you 


    D 
we sent you out of the hive. 


G              D 
Trapped in the woods 


                Em                B 
thinking no one knows of your good 


C               G 
hidden behind poorness 


D 
written off, we see you. 




        Em                    B
We will seek you out, we will find you 


        C                    G 
we will stand completely behind you 


    C                       G 
you may have been poor, Abe Lincoln 


             D                  G 
but you're a genius to the White House. 




G             D         Em            B 
Hidden in the dust of never having been 


C              G 
we can pick it up 


          D 
save you from unrecognized sin. 


G             D      Em            B 
Buried in the dust, buried in old books 


C               G          D 
buried in old clothes, buried in dirty looks. 




         Em                    B 
We will seek you out, we will find you 


         C                  G 
we will stand completely behind you 


    C                       G 
you may have been poor, Abe Lincoln 


             D               G 
but you're a genius to the White House. 




B 
Never will you reach out 


    Em                B 
to find nothing there 


B 
frowning thought never to be found 


A                 D 
of you we are aware. 


G                 D 
Hidden in a log cabin 


Em             B 
that's how we all are 


   C            G 
until someone loves you 


  
D 
you're missed be clinked once behind bars. 


G                      D 
Something more calls you 


     Em                B 
to sense something unsensible 


           C             G 
yet so sensible so sensible 


  
            D 
'neath a special stone unturned, unfencible. 




        Em                    B
We will seek you out, we will find you 


        C                    G 
we will stand completely behind you 


    C                       G 
you may have been poor, Abe Lincoln 


             D              G 
but you're a genius to the White House. 

(--repeat chorus twice more) 



...White House, White House.
