 {D} {A} {E} {A} {A}

{A} Nobody saw them running from 16th Ave-{D}-nue
They never found the {A} fingerprints or the weapon that was {E} used
But some-{A}-one killed country music, cut out its heart and {D} soul
They got away with {A} murder {E} Down on music {A} row

The almight dollar [1] and the lust for worldwide fame [2]
Slowly killed tradition [3] and for that, someone should hang [4]   
They all say "Not Guilty!"  [5] but the evidence will show
That murder was committed down on music row

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

{D} {A} {E} {A} {A}

They thought no one would miss it once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them ol' drinkin' and cheatin' songs  
Well there ain't no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murder's been committed down on music row

Chorus 
For the steel guitars no longer cry and you can't hear fiddles play
With drums and rock 'n' roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why the Hag wouldn't have a chance [9] on today's radio [10]
Since they committed murder [11] down on music row [12]

Why they {A} even tell the Possum to pack up and go back {D} home
There's been an awful {A} murder {E} Down on music {A} row
