Chords for The Highwaymen - They Killed Him (American Outlaws: Live at Nassau Coliseum, 1990)

_ Thank you.
Here's [F] a song for the heroes of the spirit. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Was a man named Mahatma Gandhi
Would not bow down, he would not fight
Knew the deal was down and dirty
Nothing wrong could make it [Bb] right away
But he knew his duty
At the price he [F] had to pay _ _
_ Just another [C] holy man
Who tried [Bb] to make a stand
Might [F] God be killing him
_ _ _ _ Another man from the land of Georgia
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 [F] burn away _ _
_ Just another [C] holy man
Who dared to [Bb] be a friend
Might [F] God be killing him
Might

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] God be killing him _
_ _ _ _ The only son of God almighty
The holy one called Jesus Christ
Healed the lame and fed the hungry
For his love he took his [Bb] life away
On the road to glory
Where the story [F] never ends _ _
_ Just a holy [C] son of man
You'll never [Bb] understand
Might [F] God be killing him _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Sing about Mahatma Gandhi
Sing of Martin Luther King
Sing of Jesus Christ almighty
And the brothers Kennedy _ _ _ _
