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
