Murder on Music Row George Strait
Intro D |A |E |A | ||
Verse 1
Nob[A]ody saw them running from [A7]sixteenth Aven[D]ue
They never found the f[A]ingerprints or the weapon that was [E]used
But some[A]one killed country music cut [A7]out its heart and s[D]oul
They got away with m[A]urder d[E]own on music r[A]ow
The [A]almight dollar and the l[A7]ust for worldwide f[D]ame
Slowly killed trad[A]ition and for that, someone should h[E]ang
Th[A]ey all say "Not Guilty!" but the [A7]evidence will sh[D]ow
That murder was comm[A]itted d[E]own on music r[A]ow
Chorus
For the st[D]eel guitars no longer cry and the f[A]iddles barely play
But dr[B7]ums and rock 'n' roll guitars are m[E]ixed up in your f[E7]ace
[A] Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance on tod[A7]ay's radi[D]o
Since they committed m[A]urder d[E]own on music r[A]ow
Interlude D |A |E |A | ||
Verse 2
They th[A]ought no one would miss it once [A7]it was dead and g[D]one
They said no one would b[A]uy them ol' drinkin' and cheatin' s[E]ongs
Well there [A]ain't no justice in it and the [A7]hard facts are c[D]old
Murder's been comm[A]itted d[E]own on music r[A]ow
Chorus
For the st[D]eel guitars no longer cry and you c[A]an't hear fiddles play
With d[B7]rums and rock 'n' roll guitars mixed r[E]ight up in your f[E7]ace
[A] Why, the Hag, he wouldn't have a chance on tod[A7]ay's radi[D]o
Since they committed m[A]urder d[E]own on music r[A]ow
Why they'd [A]even tell the Possum to pack [A7]up and go back h[D]ome
There's been an awful m[A]urder d[E]own on music r[A]ow[A] [E] [A]
