[E] [F#m]
[B]
[F#m] And he killed a man in [F#] November of [F#m] last year
Murder was the only way [B] to keep his conscience [F#m] clear
He said there was a reason why [F#] an honest man should die
So he hid out at the station till the officer [D] arrived
Three shots in the back, [B] murder in the first [F#m] degree
A flag and a [D] pool of blood and gas, [F#] that red don't tread [F#m] on me
And then he fled the [D] scene and [E] hopped a plane to [F#m] Concord, Mass
Got a hotel by [D] the state house [B] and waited for the [F#m] nurse to pass
Made a call home [D] to his parents for [E] confession of the [F#m] crime
They turned him in, [D] the feds broke in, [B] he made the news with his [D] headline
[Bm] For the man without [D] a prayer left in the world, [A] who am I?
[E]
[Bm] To sing for you, [D] to speak for [F#m] you
[A] [E] [F#m]
[D]
[F#m] And he told the jury [E] it was he who [F#m] killed the man
But he did it [D] for a cause he [E] thought the world would [F#m] understand
And tonight there's people praying [E] for the victim's [F#m] wife and kids
Asking [D] God to comfort [E] them, the things the [F#m] devil did
For three shots [D] in the back, [E] murder in the [F#m] first degree
A flag and a [D] pool of blood and gas, [E] that red don't tread [D] on me
For [Bm] the man [D] without a prayer left in the world, who [A] are you?
You [E] can't see
[F#] Is [Bm] he a martyr in a cell, [D] a criminal in hell?
[A] A hero for his cause, is [E] there any way to tell?
Don't [Bm] think anybody won, [D] don't agree with what he done
But [A] he's a human with a soul, [E] just another mother's son
[Bm] If every man could [D] have a prayer left in the world, [A] what is yours [E] gonna be?
[A] Is [Bm] there anybody praying [D] that Andy sees the light?
[A] That through the grace of Jesus, God's [E] forgiveness sets things right?
For three [Bm] shots in the back, [D] murder in the first degree
[F#m]
A flag and a [D] pool of blood and gas, [B] that red don't tread on [D] me
