  23  There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,
  24
  25 He would not bow down, he would not fight.
  26
  27 He knew the deal was a-down and dirty.
  28                                 F     C
  29 And nothing wrong could make it right away.
  30                                              G
  31 But he knew his duty and the price he had to pay.
  32                   D                     C

  34              G
  35 My God, they killed him.

  37 Another man from Atlanta, Georgia,

  39 He shook the land like a rolling thunder
  40 And made the bells of freedom ring today
  41 With a dream of beauty that they could not take away
  42 Just another holy man who dared to make a stand.
  43 My God, they killed him.
  44
  45 The only Son of God Almighty
  46 The holy one called Jesus Christ
  47 He healed the sick and fed the hungry
  48 And for his love they took his life away
  49 On the road to glory where the story never ends
  50 Just the holy Son of Man I'll never understand.
  51 My God, they killed him.
