[Intro]
Em Em Dsus4 D x 4
[Verse 1]
G
On the twenty-first of April
D
Eighteen and sixty-five
The Three-Thirty-One left Washington
C Csus2 Em
For Lincoln's last train ride
G
Cannons boomed, the bonfires burned

The evergreens wore grey, Three-Thirty-One, in the morning sun
C Csus2 Em
The hearse, that journey made
[Chorus]
Em Em/F# G D A A7sus4
See that train comin', boys, rollin' down Main
C Csus2 D Em
Draped in black, she won't be back; it's Lincoln's funeral train
Em Em/F# G D A A7sus4
With a portrait of a martyred man, shot down by a traitor
C Csus2 D Em
Now toll the bell and bid farewell to the Great Emancipator
[Instrumental]
Em Em Dsus4 D x 4
[Verse 2]
G
Crowds jammed the streets for a final look
D
At the great man who had stood
At the country's helm, through the bitter war
C Csus2 Em
That seemed of little good
G
Felled by the bullet of John Wilkes Booth
D
As the battle died away, his guiding spirit to reconciled
C Csus2 Em
By absence brought dismay
[Chorus]
Em Em/F# G D A A7sus4
See that train comin', boys, rollin' down Main
C Csus2 D Em
Draped in black, she won't be back; it's Lincoln's funeral train

With a portrait of a martyred man, shot down by a traitor

Now toll the bell and bid farewell to the Great Emancipator
