THEY KILLED HIM
[Intro]
G  C/GG
      X4
[Verse]
G                     C/G        G
There was a man named Hatma Gandi 
G                        C/G            G
He would not bow down he would not fight 
G                     C/G        G
He knew the deal was down and dirty 
G                     C/G          G    C
And nothing wrong could make it right   away
C                                               G
But he knew his duty, and the prize he had to pay
D                         C
Just another holy man who tried to be a friend 
             G            C/G        G
My God, they killed him. 
G                C/G            G
Another man from Atlanta, Georgia 
G                 C/G        G
By name of Martin Luther King 
G                           C/G        G
He shook the land like the rolling thunder 
G                     C/G        G   C
And made the bells of freedom ring, today 
C                                                   G    C/G    G
With a dream of beauty, that they could not burn away
D                         C
Just another holy man who dared to be a friend
             G            C/G     G
My God, they killed him. 
G               C/G        G
The only Son of God Almighty 
G                   C/G        G
The holy one called Jesus Christ 
G                      C/G          G
He healed the sick and fed the hungry 
G                     C/G         G   C
And for his love they took his life, away 
C                                             G    C/G   G
On the road to glory where the story never ends.... 
D                               C
Just the holy Son of Man we'll never understand 
             G           C/G       G
My God, they killed him. 
G                     C/G         G
