Strait George - Murder On Music Row 2 guitar tab

This is a much easier method of playing this song and still being in the

correct key.

This is a great country song, sad but true, done by George Strait

with Alan Jackson. Traditional country beat should be very easy to play.

Murder On Music Row

George Strait & Alan Jackson

Key of A- Capo on 3rd fret, play in G

INTRO:

[C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G]

[G] Nobody [C] saw him [G] running, from[G7] Sixteenth Ave[C]nue

They never found [G] a fingerprint, or the weapon that was [D]

used.[D7]

[G] But someone killed [C] country [G] music, [G7] cut out its

heart and [C] soul.

They got away with [G] murder, [D] down on [D7] music [G] row.

[C] [G] [D]

[G] The al[C]mighty [G] dollar, and the [G7]lust for worldwide

[C] fame

Slowly killed [G] tradition, and for that someone should [D]

hang.[D7]

[G] They all [C] say "Not [G] Guilty" but the[G7] evidence will

[C] show

That murder was [G] committed,[D] down on [D7] Music [G]

Row.[C][G]

CHORUS:

[G7] For the [C] steel guitars no longer cry, and the [G] fiddles

[C] barely [G] play.

But [A7] drums and rock and roll guitars are [D] mixed up in your

[D7] face.

[G] Old Hank [C] [G] wouldn't have a chance, on [G7] today's

radi[C]o,

Since they committed [G] murder, [D] down on [D7] Music [G] Row.

They [G] thought no [C] one would [G] miss it, once[G7] it was

dead and [C] gone.

They said no one would [G]buy them old drinkin' and cheatin'[D]

songs.[D7]

Well there [G] ain't no[C] justice[G] in it, and the hard[G7]

facts are[C] cold.

Murder's been [G] committed,[D] down on [D7] Music[G] Row. [C]

[G]

CHORUS:

[G7] For the [C] steel guitars no longer cry, and you [G] can't

hear [C] fiddles [G] play.

With [A7] drums and rock and roll guitars mixed [D] right up in

your [D7] face.

Why the [G] Hag,[C] he wouldn't [G] have a chance on [G7] today's

radi[C]o,

Since they committed [G] murder,[D] down on [D7] Music [G] Row.

[G] Why they'd even [C] tell the [G] Possum, to pack [G7] up and

go back [C] home.

There's been an awful [G] murder,[D] down on [D7] Music [G] Row.

[C] [G]
