NOFX – The Man I Killed
(acoustic Guitar) actually he plays this part only with power chords too. But you can
use the regular ones.
G C G
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
b e C D
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
G C G
Was for the benefit of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
b C G
Before more damage could be done I took his life.

G5 G5 F#5 E5 (/^E5) C5
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
G5 F#/G5
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison,
G5 F#5 E5 (/^E5) C5
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
G5 F#/G5
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion others cheered,
G5 F#5 E5 C5 D5
He was gone, and I would soon be...
(acoustic Guitar)(again: actually it's power chords)
G C G
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,
b e C D
I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be,
G C G
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
b C G
A minor threat except for that one man I killed.

G5 G5 F#5 E5 (/^E5) C5
As the se-datives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes,
G5 F#/G5
There’s a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize,
G5 F#5 E5 (/^E5) C5
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know,
G5 F#/G5
That the man I killed’s replacement planned this whole scenario,
G5 F#5 E5 C5 D5 G5<-last Chord also played w/acoustic
And what I did had no significance at all.
(acoustic and slightly distorted guitar: chords, 3rd guitar(?) riff)
