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)
GNobody saw them running
From 16Cth Avenue
They never foGund the fingerprints
Or the weapon that was D7used
But Gsomeone killed country music
Cut out its Cheart and soul
They got awGay with murder
D7Down on mGusic row
The almighty dollar
And the lust for wCorldwide fame
Slowly kGilled tradition
And for that sD7omeone should hang
GThey all say got guilty
But the eCvidence will show
That murderG was committed
D7Down on muGsic G7row
CFor the steel guitars no longer cry
And Gthe fiddles barely play
But A7drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
Are D7mixed up in your face
GOl' Hank wouldn't have a chance
On todayC's radio
Since they cGommitted murder
D7Down on mGusic row
They thought no one would miss it
Once it was dCead and gone
They said no oGne would buy them ol'
Drinking and D7cheating songs
Well tGhere ain't no justice in it
And the hard fCacts are cold
Murder's Gbeen committed
D7Down on muGsic G7row
CFor the steel guitars no longer cry
And yGou can't hear fiddles play
With A7drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
MixedD7 right up in your face
Why tGhe Hag wouldn't have a chance
On today'Cs radio
Since they coGmmitted murder
D7Down on mGusic row
Why they even tell the Possum
To pack up andC go back home
There's been aGn awful murder
D7Down on muGsic row
