Chords for Kris Kristofferson - They Killed Him (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

[F] Really for having us.
_ God bless Bob Del Norte from Bill Graham for showing us a way to do this thing.
Here's one for the hero. _ _ _
Was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
Would not bow down, he would not fight
He knew that the earth was down and dirty
Nothing wrong would make it [Bb] right way
For he knew his duty
The price he [F] had to pay
_ _ _ Just another [C] holy man
Tried to make [Bb] a stand
But God [F] they killed him _ _ _ _ _ _
Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
Named Martin Luther King
Took the land like rolling thunder
Made the bells of [Bb] freedom ring today
A dream of beauty
They could not [F] burn away
Just _ another [C] holy man
_ Who dared to [Bb] be a friend
But God [F] they killed him _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ The [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
only son of God almighty
The only one called Jesus Christ
Heal the lame and fed the hungry
All his love they took in [Bb] life away
From the road to glory
The [Gm] story [F] never ends
_ _ _ Just a holy [C] son of man
Never [Bb] understands
But [F] God they killed him _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sing about Mahatma Gandhi
Sing of Martin Luther King
Sing of Jesus Christ almighty
And the brothers Kennedy
Thank _ _ _ _ [Gm] you, [F] God bless you, keep the faith _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Eb] _
