Dispatch to 16th  Ave
       Em            D             G
I'm afraid there's another man down

 G            Cadd9   G
Suspect was a record man
      Em      D                G
Hell bent on changing his sound

        G                 Cadd9    G
He was naive and nineteen, new to town
       Em             D           Cadd9      G
Wasn't in it for the money, so he stood his ground

 G                        Cadd9    G
Damn shame to see another good one go
        Em          D               Cadd9      G
Like a whipped dog walking with his tail hung low


CHORUS:
        Cadd9            G
Another murder on Music Row
         D                             Em
Another never would've made it on the radio
        Cadd9                             G
Another couldn't catch a flame 'cause he played too slow
 D                            G
Wouldn't sing something that somebody else wrote

          Cadd9                    G
Should've packed up and headed on home
          D                       Em      D
With his pen and pad filled with country songs
    Cadd9                  G
But wound up found on the side of town
           Em            D     Cadd9    Cadd9
Where the twang used to hang around

G            Cadd9  G
 Dispatch to 16th  Ave

       Em          D          G
I'm afraid it's a little too late

G                Cadd9   G
Used to be about honest song
         Em          D        G
But the dollar sign took its place

 G                       Cadd9    G
Whatever happened to the working man
   Cadd9         D           G
Or cheating and lying 'bout love

G                     Cadd9   G
I know a few of those Highwaymen
              Em            D      G
Are probably shaking their heads above


CHORUS:
        Cadd9            G
Another murder on Music Row

There's a few of us hanging 'round
       Em       D          G
Yeah, maybe we missed the train

                       Cadd9    G
There's a lot of folks holding tight
         Em         D        G
To the "might come back someday"

G                 Cadd9    G
If it don't, then wish me well
     Em           D        G
As I die on this hill for now
