Murder On Music Row

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 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
