[Verse 1]
F#m D E F#m
Andy killed a man in November of last year
F#m D E F#m
Murder was the only way to keep his conscience clear
F#m D E F#m
He said there was a reason why an honest man should die
F#m D E D
So he hit out at the station till the officer arrived
[Chorus]
F#m D E F#m
And three shot in the back, murder in the first degree
F#m D E F#m
A flag in a pool of blood and gas that read “Don’t tread on me”
[Verse 2]
F#m D E F#m
And Andy fled the scene and hopped a plane to concord Mass.
F#m D E F#m
Got a hotel by the statehouse and waited for the nerves to pass
F#m D E F#m
Made a call home to his parents full confession of the crime
F#m D E D
They turned him in, the feds broke in and made the news with this headline
[Bridge 1]
Bm D
For the man without a prayer left in the world
A E
Who am I ...........
Bm
To sing for you
D F#m
To speak for you ......
[Instrumental]
F#m A E F#m 2x
[Verse 3]
F#m D E F#m
Then Andy told the jury it was he who killed the man
F#m D E F#m
But he did it for a cause and thought the world would understand
F#m D E F#m
And tonight there’s people praying for the victim’s wife and kids
F#m D E F#m
Asking God to comfort them for things the devil did
[Chorus]
F#m D E F#m
The three shot in the back, murder in the first degree
F#m D E D
A flag in a pool of blood and gas that read “Don’t tread on me”
[Bridge 2]
Bm D
For the man without a prayer left in the world
A
Who are you ......
E
Gonna see?
Bm
Is he a martyr ia a cell
D
Or a criminal in hell
A
A hero for his cause
E
Is there anyway to tell?
Bm
Don’t think anybody won
D
Don’t agree with what he done
A
But he’s a human with a soul
E
Just another mother’s son
[Bridge 3]
Bm D
If every man could have a prayer left in the world
A
What is your’s .......
E
Gonna be?
Bm
Is there anybody praying
D
That Andy see’s the light
A
That through the grace of Jesus
E
God’s forgiveness sets things right?
[Chorus]
Bm
The three shot in the back

Murder in the first degree

A flag in a pool of blood and gas
E D
That read “Don’t tread on me”
