Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Abraham martin and john From: Mudlark Date: 15 Jan 02 - 03:56 AM I've sung this as a sort of medley with Where have all the flowrs gone...and at least a simple version only needs 3 chords
(G(Anybody here seen my (C) old friend (G) Abraham I'm sure some of you real guitar players have a more elegant version (I'll be watching!) but this is servicable. |

Subject: Chords Add: ABRAHAM, MARTIN, AND JOHN (Holler) From: John Hardly Date: 16 Jan 02 - 10:45 PM ABRAHAM, MARTIN, AND JOHN Written by Dick Holler, recorded by Dion [D] Has anybody [F#m7] here [Em7] seen my [A] old friend Abraham? [D] Can you [F#m7]tell me where he's [Em]go—[A]--ne? [Bm] He freed a lot of [F#m(7)] people, But it [Em] seems the good, they [G] die [A] young. [G] I just [A] looked 'round and he was [G] gone. [D] [Bm] Didn't you [F#m7] love the [Em] things that they [G] stood [A] for? [Bm] Didn't they [F#m7] try to [Em] find some [G] good for [D] you and me? And [C9] we'll be free... ...[G] someday, [Em]soon, we're gonna be [A] wonderin'...[D] D = X00232 F#m7 = 242222 Em = 022000 G = 320033 A = 002220 Bm = 224432 C9 = 332033 Have fun. D seemed to work best for the simplest voicings for that m7 sound. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Abraham martin and john From: Lanfranc Date: 17 Jan 02 - 04:32 AM I hadn't come across the last verse or bridge before - MOR radio in the UK often truncates.
Abraham = Lincoln Sorry to be an iggerant limey! Alan |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Abraham martin and john From: Genie Date: 27 Jan 02 - 01:23 AM You got 'em all right, Lanfranc. Genie |
Subject: Authorship correction: Abraham Martin and John From: Genie Date: 15 Jan 03 - 04:16 PM Apparently, Dion was not the author. Links in previous threads say: "Words and music by Dick Holler" |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Abraham Martin and John From: Jim Dixon Date: 19 Nov 13 - 11:24 AM I just listened to a recording by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. The album is "California Freedom Tour 2010." They added a verse at the end: "Has anybody here seen my old friend Harvey?"--referring to Harvey Milk, I presume. An appropriate addition, in my opinion. |
