                                           A                                                                   E 
They never found a finger print or the weapon that was used.
                     A                                                                                             D 
But some-one killed country music cut out it's heart and soul

They got away with murder down on music row
 A                                                                                                   D 
The all mighty dollar and the lust for world wide fame
                                         A                                                                 E 
Slowly killed tra-dition and for that someone should pay
                                                                            (Aw you tell 'em Allan)
 A                                                                                                 D

For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play
             B                                                                 E 
But drums and rock'n'roll guitars are mixed   "2.)right" up in your face
           A                                                                                                   D

2.) Why the Hag wouldn't have a chance   on today's radi-o
                                               A           E                       A 
Since they committed murder down on music row
 A                                                                                                             D 
They thought no one would miss it once it was dead and gone
                                                 A                                                                   E 
They said no one would buy them old drinkin' and cheatin' songs
                                                                                    (But I'll still buy 'em)
                 A                                                                                 D 
There ain't no justice in and the hard facts are cold
                                     A             E                         A 
Murder's been committed 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
