There was a man named Mahatma Ghandi, he would not bow down he would not fight
E                    Esus4           E                   Esus4
He knew the deal was down and dirty, nothin' wrong could make it right
A                                                   E   Esus4  E
Away, but he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay

Just another holy man, tried to make a stand, my God they killed him

E                 Esus4           E              Esus4

E                   Esus4             E                Esus4
Shook the land like rolling thunder, made the bells of freedom ring
A                                                  E    Esus4  E
Today, with a dream of beauty that they could burn away
                  B7                 A                   E          Esus4  E  Esus4
Just another holy man, dared to be a friend, my God they killed him
