Chords for George Strait & Alan Jackson ~ "Murder on Music Row"

[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Nobody _ saw him running _ _ from 16th [D] Avenue
_ They'd _ never found [A] a friend or friend of the weapon that [E] was used _
But [Bm] _ _ [A] someone came country music
_ Cut out its [D] heart and soul
_ They got _ away [A] with murder
_ [E] And their own [A] music _ rose
_ _ The _ _ almighty dollar _
And lost the worldwide [D] fame _
_ Slowly killed [A] tradition
And for that someone _ [E] should hang
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ [A] They all say not guilty
But the evidence [D] will show
_ That murder was [A] committed
_ _ [E] Down on [A] Music _ Road _ _
Oh, [D] the steel guitars no longer cry
_ [A] And fiddles barely play
_ [B] But drums and rock and roll guitars
[E] Are mixed up in your [Bm] face
[A] Oh, Hank, you wouldn't have a chance
On _ today's [D] radio
_ _ [G] [D] Since they _ [A] committed murder
_ [E] Down on [A] Music Road
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ They thought no one would miss it
Once it was [D] dead and gone
They said no [A] one would buy [D] them [A] all
Drinking and [E] cheating songs
Oh, I still buy them drinking songs, Jordan
[Bm] There [A] _
_ ain't no justice in it
And the hard [D] facts are cold _
That murder [A] was committed
_ _ [E]
Down on [A] Music _ Road _
_ _ [Bm] [A] Oh, [D] the steel guitars no longer cry
[F#m] [A] And fiddles barely play
_ [B] But drums and rock and roll guitars
[E] Are mixed up in your face
_ [A] _ _ Why the heck he wouldn't have a chance
On today's _ [D]
radio
_ Since they committed [A] murder
_ _ [E] Down on [A] Music _ Road
_ _ [D] Why, [A]
they'd even tell the possum
To pack up [B] and [D] go back home
There's been an [A] awful murder
_ _ [E]
Down on [A] Music Road _ _
_ _ _ _ Alan [D#] Jackson, [Am] everybody! _ _ _ _ _ _
