Verse 1
 G                           C
Nobody saw them running from sixteenth Avenue
           G                                             D7
They never found the fingerprints or the weapon that was used
     G                                       C
But someone killed country music cut out its heart and soul
         G                D7      G
They got away with murder down on music row
     G                               C
The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
       G                              D7
Slowly killed tradition and for that, someone should hang
  G                                C
They all say "Not Guilty!" but the evidence will show
               G          G      D7     G7
That murder was committed down on music row

Chorus
        C                               G
For the steel guitars no longer cry and the fiddles barely play
     A7                                 D7                               
But drums and rock 'n' roll guitars are mixed up in your face
 G                                      C                             
Ol'  Hank wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
           G                 D7     G     G7           
Since they committed murder down on music row

    

Verse 2
    G                                          C   
They thought no one would miss it once it was dead and gone
             G                                   D7
They said no one would buy them ol' drinkin' and cheatin' songs
     G                                         C         
Well there ain't no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
         G              D7      G     G7           
Murder's been committed down on music row

Chorus
   C                                    G         
For the steel guitars no longer cry and you can't hear fiddles play
      A7                                  D7               
With drums and rock 'n' roll guitars mixed right up in your face
      G                                         C
Why, the Hag, he wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
           G                D7      G
Since they committed murder down on music row
 
  G                                           C
Why they'd even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
              G              D7      G
There's been an awful murder down on music row
