Murder on Music Row George Strait
Even though I love todays modern country, this song has a cool story line to it
about the death of traditional country music. this is a different way to play it.
Song Title: Murder On Music Row
Artist: George Strait (Alan Jackson also recorded this)
[G]Nobody saw them running
From 16[C]th Avenue
They never fo[G]und the fingerprints
Or the weapon that was [D7]used
But [G]someone killed country music
Cut out its [C]heart and soul
They got aw[G]ay with murder
[D7]Down on m[G]usic row
The almighty dollar
And the lust for w[C]orldwide fame
Slowly k[G]illed tradition
And for that s[D7]omeone should hang
[G]They all say got guilty
But the e[C]vidence will show
That murder[G] was committed
[D7]Down on mu[G]sic [G7]row
[C]For the steel guitars no longer cry
And [G]the fiddles barely play
But [A7]drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
Are [D7]mixed up in your face
[G]Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance
On today[C]'s radio
Since they c[G]ommitted murder
[D7]Down on m[G]usic row
They thought no one would miss it
Once it was d[C]ead and gone
They said no o[G]ne would buy them ol'
Drinking and [D7]cheating songs
Well t[G]here ain't no justice in it
And the hard f[C]acts are cold
Murder's [G]been committed
[D7]Down on mu[G]sic [G7]row
[C]For the steel guitars no longer cry
And y[G]ou can't hear fiddles play
With [A7]drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
Mixed[D7] right up in your face
Why t[G]he Hag wouldn't have a chance
On today'[C]s radio
Since they co[G]mmitted murder
[D7]Down on m[G]usic row
Why they even tell the Possum
To pack up and[C] go back home
There's been a[G]n awful murder
[D7]Down on mu[G]sic row
