                   F            C
I see a penny and I pick it up
                          F             G
If not the money, I could use the luck
                            F              G
And if it's face down then I turn it over
                              F         G    C
Head for Wood Avenue, between Inman and New Dover
        F             C   F   C
Back in my home town
              F                        C
Gas is cheaper where I'm from, but the
               F       C
Driving's not so good
                        F
People go and stay where they should not
          C                   F      G
And they don't do it like I would
PD-C HORUS:
                F               G
Work is not the same as before
              F    G           C          F
More software hands in the hardware store__
        C         F      Am
Yeah, yeah, hmmm, hmmm
CHORUS:
         G                         F
Oh, Abraham look at all the money now
                G       F
Oh, Abraham goodnight
                          G                 F
It's your party, but I'll cry if I want to
I wouldn't care how much they have
                             C      F   C   F   C
If they would only do what's right
                F               C
I was born by a Kerouac stream
              F         C
Under Eisenhower skies
                     F          C
They saw freedom as a big idea
                           F      G
Now it was right before my eyes
PD-C HORUS:
                        F                   G
They say Jack helped to build the Pentagon
                                  F      G       C   F
And Ike built the interstate that we are off and on___
         C        F      Am
Off and on, hmmm, hmmm
CHORUS:
           G                                 F
Oh, Abraham was it all about the money then
                G       F
Oh, Abraham goodnight
                          G                 F
It's your party, but I'll cry if I want to
All moneyed up and charmed with might
                             C       F
So we are right, we're always right
BRIDGE:
C
We're right, they're wrong
    F
Let them get their own song
C
We're right, they're wrong
    F                    C    F   C
Let them get their own song
                   F            C
I see a penny and I pick it up
                       F            C
Ninety-nine more and I have a buck
                      G
Abe, you were born in old Kentuck'
    F        C              F C
But we still miss you here
