Murder On Music Row

D A E A

A                              
Nobody saw him runnin' from 16th 
       D
aven-ue
                     A             
They never found a finger print or 
                     E
the weapon that was used.
          A                      
But some-one killed country music 
                         D
cut out it's heart and soul
                     A     E      
They got away with murder down on 
        A
music row
A                                 
The all mighty dollar and the lust
                 D
 for world wide fame
                    A           
Slowly killed tra-dition and for 
                      E
that someone should pay
                                    
  (Aw you tell 'em Allan)
A                                 
They all say "not guilty" But the 
                D
evidence will show

                   A        E     
That murder was committed down on 
       A
music row

[Chorus]
A7        D                      
For the steel guitars no longer 
          A
cry and fiddles barely play
      B                          
But drums and rock'n'roll guitars 
       E
are mixed  "2.)right" up in your 
face
     A                             
1,) Old Hank wouldn't have a chance
                     D
     on today's radi-o
2.) Why the Hag wouldn't have a 
chance  on today's radi-o
                       A      E   
Since they committed murder down 
         A
on music row

A                                 
They thought no one would miss it 
                      D
once it was dead and gone
                        A          
They said no one would buy them old
                        E
 drinkin' and cheatin' songs
                                    
      (But I'll still buy 'em)
        A                        
There ain't no justice in and the 
                 D
hard facts are cold
                  A       E   
Murder's been committed down on 
          A
music row
Go to chorus using 2.), then to 
ending

[Chorus]
             A                     
Why they'd even tell the 'possum to
                      D
 pack up and go back home
                        A      E  
There's been an awful murder down 
          A
on music row
