[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
D
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]~

[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
