Murder On Music Row
recorded by George Strait and Alan Jackson
written by 
Larry Shell and Larry Cordle
 
G                       
Nobody saw them running
             C   
From 16th Avenue
                     G            
They never found the fingerprints
                       D7    
Or the weapon that was used
 
        G                        
But someone killed country music
                      C    
Cut out its heart and soul
                   G      
They got away with murder
D7            G   
Down on music row
 
                  
The almighty dollar
                           C    
And the lust for worldwide fame
                 G      
Slowly killed tradition
                            D7      
And for that someone should hang 
 
G                       
They all say got guilty
                      C    
But the evidence will show
                   G      
That murder was committed
D7            G   G7  
Down on music row
 
C                           
For the steel guitars no longer cry
        G                   
And the fiddles barely play
    A7                               
But drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
    D7                     
Are mixed up in your face
 
G                                
Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance
              C     
On today's radio
                     G      
Since they committed murder
D7            G   
Down on music row
 
                                 
They thought no one would miss it
                     C    
Once it was dead and gone
                       G            
They said no one would buy them ol'
                      D7      
Drinking and cheating songs
 
           G                      
Well there ain't no justice in it
                       C    
And the hard facts are cold
                 G      
Murder's been committed
D7            G   G7 
Down on music row
 
C                           
For the steel guitars no longer cry
        G                       
And you can't hear fiddles play
     A7                               
With drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
      D7                     
Mixed right up in your face
 
        G                          
Why the Hag wouldn't have a chance
              C     
On today's radio
                     G      
Since they committed murder
D7            G   
Down on music row
 
                             
Why they even tell the Possum
                       C    
To pack up and go back home
                      G      
There's been an awful murder
D7            G   
Down on music row

Classic Country Music Lyrics home | Country Song Titles

Neither of these great entertainers are really old enough to be considered classics yet, although each has been performing much longer than most of the artists recording today. It's a tribute to their talent and the songs they chose to sing that has provided them a long and very successful career. I'm one of the older folks that enjoys the older country songs and I whole heartily agree with these lyrics. Just copy and paste Murder On Music Row lyrics and chords so you can sing it every chance you get.
