Tabbed by: James Michael Randorff
(Intro)
(D) (A) (E) (A) (A)
(GS Verse)
(A) Nobody saw them running
From 16th Ave-(D)-nue
They never found the (A) fingerprints
Or the weapon that was (E) used
But some-(A)-one killed country music
Cut out its heart and (D) soul
They got away with (A) murder
(E) Down on music (A) row
(AJ Verse)
(A) The almight dollar
And the lust for worldwide (D) fame
Slowly killed tra-(A)-dition
And for that, someone should (E) hang ("Ahh, you tell 'em Alan")
(A) They all say "Not Guilty!"
But the evidence will (D) show
That murder was com-(A)-mitted
(E) Down on music (A) row
(Chorus (Walking bassline first 8 bars, 2/4 beat last 9 bars))
For the (D) steel guitars no longer cry
And the (A) fiddles barely play
But (B) drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
Are (E) mixed up in your face
(A) Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance
On today's (D) radio
Since they committed (A) murder
(E) Down on music (A) row
(Turnaround)
(D) (A) (E) (A) (A)
(Split Verse)
GS: They (A) thought no one would miss it
Once it was dead and (D) gone
They said no one would (A) buy them ol'
Drinkin' and cheatin' (E) songs ("Oh, but I still buy 'em")
AJ: Well there (A) ain't no justice in it
And the hard facts are (D) cold
Murder's been com-(A)-mitted
(E) Down on music (A) row
(Chorus (Walking bassline first 8 bars, 2/4 beat last 9 bars))
For the (D) steel guitars no longer cry
And you (A) can't hear fiddles play
With (B) drums and rock 'n' roll guitars
Mixed (E) right up in your face
Why the (A) Hag wouldn't have a chance
On today's (D) radio
Since they committed (A) murder
(E) Down on music (A) row
(Tag (Walking bassline))
Why they (A) even tell the Possum
To pack up and go back (D) home
There's been an awful (A) murder
(E) Down on music (A) row
(((Nashville Numbers)))
This is the standard charting style that most Nashville session and sit-in
musicians use to read songs. It tells you the key of the song, what the
chords and chord inversions are, how they fall in the measure structure of
the song, and other rhytAmic differances, if there are any. It would behoove
anyone that is serious about being a musician, especially in Nashville or
Branson, to learn to read these kinds of charts!
