"Too Many Martyrs" by Phil Ochs
In the state of Mississippi many years ago
EGD
A boy of 14 years got a taste of southern law
AEm
He saw his friend a hanging and his color was his crime
EGD
And the blood upon his jacket left a brand upon his mind
AEm
CHORUS: Too many martyrs and too many dead
ADG
Too many lies too many empty words were said
Am D G (Em optional)
Too many times for too many angry men
ADG
Oh let it never be again
ADEm
