    • Verse 1
    Mr 
    lincoln, 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were here 

    The Re
    public's 
    changed 
    a lot 

    In a 
    hundred 
    years 
    and 

    I don't 
    think 
    it's 

    Working 
    like 
    you planned 

    Oh, 
    Mr 
    lincoln, 
    we could 
    use 
    a hand 

    Verse 2
    I 
    just 
    read 
    the headlines 

    In 
    The Nashville 
    News 

    And I 
    wish 
    I'd 
    made 
    this up 

    But 
    I'm afraid 
    it's 
    true 

    'Cause a 
    man 
    was murdered 
    for 

    His 
    money 
    in 
    the street 

    He was 
    takin' 
    his wife 
    to 

    A 
    nice 
    place 
    to eat 

    Verse 3
    When they 
    caught 
    the man 

    He did 
    twenty-three 

    months 
    months 
    of time 

    He 
    pled in
    sanity 
    like 
    they 
    do 

    Now 
    all 
    the time 

    Sir, 
    what would 
    you have 
    done 

    in 
    1859? 

    Verse 4
    Now if you 
    shoot someone, 
    sir 

    You can 
    get off 
    scot-free 

    It's 
    It's the 
    latest 
    thing, 
    Mr 
    lincoln 

    Can 
    you 
    be
    lieve? 

    Now they 
    sue 
    the manufac

    turers 
    of 
    the guns 

    Ain't 
    the 
    law 
    changed 
    a lot 
    since 
    1861? 

    Mr 
    lincoln, 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were here 
    Verse 5

    'Cause 
    things 
    have 
    changed 
    a lot 

    In a 
    hundred 
    years 

    And 
    I don't 
    think 
    it's 
    work
    ing 

    Out 
    like 
    you planned 

    Hey, Mr 
    lincoln, 

    we 
    sure could 
    use 
    a hand 

    Verse 6
    I just 
    heard 
    the 
    news 
    story 
    on 
    the radio 

    They 
    let 
    dangerous 
    men 

    out 
    of 
    prisons 
    now 

    Yes sir 
    I'm afraid 
    it's so 

    'Cause 
    they're 
    overcrowded 

    And 
    it was 
    only 
    his 
    fifth 
    of
    fense 

    Yeah, 
    and 
    this time 
    he's 
    killed 
    someone 

    Does 
    that make 
    any sense? 

    Verse 7
    Now, my 
    lawyer 
    called 
    me 

    About 
    a 
    nuisance 
    case 

    'Cause everybody 
    sues 
    over 
    any 

    Little 
    thing 
    these 
    days 

    Well, at 
    least 
    we're right 

    All we 
    gotta 
    do is 
    tell 
    the truth 

    He 
    said, "You're 
    living 
    in 
    the pas
    t 

    You 
    romantic 
    fool" 

    I 
    said, "You've 
    got 
    that right 

    I 
    lean 
    toward the 
    older 
    ways 

    And 
    there's 
    damn 
    few 
    backwoods 

    Law
    yers 
    left 
    today" 

    Verse 8
    Mr 
    lincoln, 
    I 
    wish 
    you 
    were here 

    The Re
    public's 
    changed 
    a lot 

    In a 
    hundred 
    years 
    and 

    I don't 
    think 
    it's 

    Working 
    like 
    you 
    planned 

    Hey, 
    Mr 
    lincoln, 
    we sure 
    could 
    use 
    a 
    hand 


    Verse 9
    Mr 
    lincoln, 
    please, 

    could 
    you 
    come 
    here? 

    'Cause 
    things 
    have 
    changed 
    a lot 

    In a 
    hundred 
    years 

    And 
    I 
    don't 
    think 
    it's 
    working 

    Out 
    like 
    you 
    planned 

    Mr lincoln, 
    we 
    sure 
    could 
    use 
    a hand

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
