Here's a [F] song for the hero who was killed.
Was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
Would not bow down, he would not fight
Knew the deal was down and dirty
Nothing wrong could take it right [Bb] away
But he'd do his duty
And the price he had to [F] pay
Just another holy [C] man
Who tried to make his [Bb] stand
Like Gandhi [F] killed him
Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
In the name of Martin Luther King
Took the land like rolling thunder
Made the bells of freedom [Bb] ring today
With a dream of beauty
That they could not run [F] away
Just another holy [C] man
Who dared to [Bb] be a friend
Like Gandhi [F] killed him
Like
[Bb]
[F]
[C]
[Bb] Gandhi [F] killed him
The only son of God almighty
The only one called Jesus Christ
He gave the name and fed the hungry
All his love he took his life [Bb]
away
On the road to glory
Where the story never [F] ends
A holy son of [C]
man
Never [Bb]
understands
Like Gandhi [F] killed him
Think about Mahatma Gandhi
Sing of Martin Luther King
Sing of Jesus Christ almighty
And the brothers Kennedy
