G Cadd9 G
Dispatch to 16th Ave
Em D G
I'm afraid there's another man down
G Cadd9 G
Suspect was a record man
Em D G
Hell bent on changing his sound
G Cadd9 G
He was naive and nineteen, new to town
Em D Cadd9 G
Wasn't in it for the money, so he stood his ground
G Cadd9 G
Damn shame to see another good one go
Em D Cadd9 G
Like a whipped dog walking with his tail hung low
CHORUS:
Cadd9 G
Another murder on Music Row
D Em
Another never would've made it on the radio
Cadd9 G
Another couldn't catch a flame 'cause he played too slow
D G
Wouldn't sing something that somebody else wrote
Cadd9 G
Should've packed up and headed on home
D Em D
With his pen and pad filled with country songs
Cadd9 G
But wound up found on the side of town
Em D Cadd9 Cadd9
Where the twang used to hang around
G Cadd9 G
Dispatch to 16th Ave
Em D G
I'm afraid there's another man down

VERSE:
G Cadd9 G
Dispatch to 16th Ave
Em D G
I'm afraid it's a little too late
G Cadd9 G
Used to be about honest song
Em D G
But the dollar sign took its place
G Cadd9 G
Whatever happened to the working man
Cadd9 D G
Or cheating and lying 'bout love
G Cadd9 G
I know a few of those Highwaymen
Em D G
Are probably shaking their heads above
CHORUS:
Cadd9 G
Another murder on Music Row
D Em7
Another never would've made it on the radio
Cadd9 G
Another couldn't catch a flame 'cause he played too slow
D G
Wouldn't sing something that somebody else wrote
Cadd9 G
Should've packed up and headed on home
D Em7 D
With his pen and pad filled with country songs
Cadd9 G
But wound up found on the side of town

VERSE:
G Cadd9 G
There's a few of us hanging 'round
Em D G
Yeah, maybe we missed the train
Cadd9 G
There's a lot of folks holding tight
Em D G
To the "might come back someday"
G Cadd9 G
If it don't, then wish me well
Em D G
As I die on this hill for now
G Cadd9 G
Dispatch to 16th Ave
Em D G G
I'm afraid there's another man down
