Abe  lincoln, God  Bless him,
Did  his best to end  depression
Good  thinker, Smart  Talker
Very  Tall man, Very  Fast Walker
Oh  lord, What  a shame
Got  shot down by his  three right men
Oh  lord, Where  are you now?
RFK, God  bless him,
Did  his best to end  depression
Oh  yeah, his  brother too
Their  hearts was big, though  their blood was blue
Oh  lord, what  a shame
Sirhan  Sirhan, Had  such good aim
Got  shot down by  his three right name
Kennedy  Boys, where  are you now?
 (Only hit the octaves of notes, with 1 1/8th rest in between each 1/8th note)
In  heaven,
In  heaven,
In  heaven,
You're  in heaven now
 Same progression as bridge (I think it's a harmonica)
 I just solo in the key of C, something mellow

Oh  lord, what  a shame,
Got  gunned down at the height  of their fame
We  need you boys, where  are you now?
Ronald  Reagan, why  oh why?
How  did he manage to slide on by?
