"Too Many Martyrs" by Phil Ochs

In the state of Mississippi many years ago
Em (022000@1)             G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)A boy of 14 years got a taste of southern law
Am (x02210@1)                     Em (022000@1)He saw his friend a hanging and his color was his crime
Em (022000@1)                G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)And the blood upon his jacket left a brand upon his mind
Am (x02210@1)                                 Em (022000@1)CHORUS: Too many martyrs and too many dead
        Am (x02210@1)        D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)Too many lies too many empty words were said
Am (x02210@1)        D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)            (Em optional)

Too many times for too many angry men
Am (x02210@1)        D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)Oh let it never be again
Am (x02210@1)        D (xx0232@1)       Em (022000@1)
