They Killed Him

(início)

  G
There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
He would not bow down, he would not fight
He knew the deal was a-down and dirty
                                 G7     C
And nothing wrong could make it right away
                 C                            G
But he knew his duty and the price he had to pay
       G           D                      C
Just another holy man who dared to be a friend
              G
My God, they killed him
Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
Name of Martin Luther King
He shook the land like a rolling thunder
                               G7     C
And made the bells of freedom ring today
 C                                                G
With a dream of beauty that they could not take away
                   D                        C
Just another holy man who dared to make a stand
              G
My God, they killed him
The only Son of God Almighty
The holy one called Jesus Christ
He healed the sick and fed the hungry
                                 G7   C
And for his love they took his life away
                 C                         G
On the road to glory where the story never ends
                      D                    C
Just the holy Son of Man I'll never understand
              G
My God, they killed him
