Nobody knows about
Am
Nobody knows about
Em
What's goin' on down there
C G
Who's gonna tell about
Am
Who's gonna tell about
Em
What's goin' on down there
A
They dragged the Mississippi for the three lost men
Am
They came up with other guys, eight, nine, ten
B Em G
And threw them back again, Oh
C G
Nobody knows about
Am
Nobody knows about
Em
What's goin' on down there
C G
Who's gonna tell about
Am
Who's gonna tell about
Em
What's goin' on down there
A
You try to register like the constitution said
Am
They take away your job and they take away your bread;
B Em G
You might as well be dead, Oh
C G
Nobody knows about
Am
Nobody knows about
Em
What's goin' on down there
C G
Who's gonna tell about
Am
Who's gonna tell about
Em
What's goin' on down there
A
They throw you into jail all covered with blood
Am
F.B.I. man won't do you any good;
B Em G
He also wears the hood, Oh

Nobody knows about
Am
Nobody knows about
Em
What's goin' on down there
C G
Who's gonna tell about
Am
Who's gonna tell about
Em
What's goin' on down there
A
You stand up like a man and they cut you in two
Am
The killer goes to trial, but what good does it do?
B Em G
He's on the jury, too, Oh
C G
Nobody knows about
Am
Nobody knows about
Em
What's goin' on down there
C G
Who's gonna tell about
Am
Who's gonna tell about
Em

A
The newspaper pages have nothing to say
Am
They either tell lies or they hide it all away
B Em G
Day after day after day, Oh
C G
Nobody knows about
Am
Nobody knows about
Em
What's goin' on down there
C G
Who's gonna tell about
Am
Who's gonna tell about
Em

We sing you this song so you know what's true
Am
And you've got to take the story everywhere you go
B Em G
Because it's up to you, Oh
C G
Nobody knows about
Am
Nobody knows about
Em
What's goin' on down there
C G
Who's gonna tell about
