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
(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
A man named Martin Luther King
The only Son of God Almighty
G7
The holy one called Jesus Christ)
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
There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
A man named Martin Luther King
The only Son of God Almighty
G7
The holy one called Jesus Christ
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
(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
A man named Martin Luther King
The only Son of God Almighty
The holy one called Jesus Christ)
(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
A man named Martin Luther King
G
The only Son of God Almighty...)
