[Intro]
D A E A

   A                                    D
No body saw them running from 16th Aven ue
                     A                                   E
They never found the fingerprints or the weapon that was used
         A                                               D
But some one killed country music, cut out its heart and soul
                   A      E             A
They got away with murder down on music row

    A                                          D
The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
                   A                                  E
Slowly killed trad ition and for that, someone should hang
    A                                                 D
Oh, they all say "Not Guilty!", but the evidence will show
                    A      E             A
That murder was com mitted down on music row

        D                               A
For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play
    B7                                  E
But drums and rock 'n' roll guitars are mixed up in your face
A                                               D
Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance on today's radi o
                     A      E             A
Since they committed murder down on music row

[Fiddle Solo]
     A                                                 D
They thought no one would miss it once it was dead and gone
                       A                                  E
They said no one would buy them ol' drinkin' and cheatin' songs
           A                                              D
Well there ain't no justice in it, and the hard facts are cold
                  A      E             A
Murder's been com mitted down on music row

        D                               A
For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play
    B7                                  E
But drums and rock 'n' roll guitars are mixed up in your face
A                                               D
Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance on today's radi o
                     A      E             A
Since they committed murder down on music row

           A                                            D
Why they'd even tell the 'possum to pack up and go back home
                      A      E             A
There's been an awful murder down on music row
