Verse 1
(D major) This is called Who Killed Davy Moore
Who (G major) (D major) killed (G major) (D major) Davy Moore,
(G major) why and what's the reason for
(D major) Not (G major) I, said the (D major) referee,
(G major) don't point your finger (D major) at me
I could have (G major) stopped it (D major) in the (G major) eighth
and maybe kept him from
(D major) his fate
(G major) But the crowd would have booed
(D major) I'm sure (G major) at not getting
their money's (D major) worth.
(G major) It's too bad he had to go,
but (D major) there was pressure on me,
too.
You know it wasn't (G major) me that made him fall.
You (A major) can't blame me at (D major) all.
Who (G major) killed (A major) Davey (D major) Moore?
(G major) Why and (A major) what's the reason for? (D major)
Not (G major) us, said the (D major) angry crowd,
whose scream (G major) s filled the (D major) arena loud.
It's (G major) too bad he had to die (D major) that night.
We (G major) just like to see a good
old -fashioned fight (D major)
We (G major) didn't mean for him to meet his death
We just wanted to
see some sweat
There ain't nothing wrong in that
It wasn't us that made him (D major) fall
(G major) You can't (A major) blame us at (D major) all
Who (G major) killed (A major) Davy (D major) Moore?
(G major) Why (A major) and what's the (D major) reason for?
Not (G major) me, said his (D major) manager
Puffin' on a (G major) big cigar
(D major) It's hard (G major) to say, it's (D major) hard to tell,
I always (G major) thought that he (D major) was well
It's too (G major) bad for his wife and kids he's (A major) dead,
but if he (G major) was sick he should (D major) have said
It (G major) wasn't me that (D major) made him fall,
you can't (A major) blame me at (D major) all
Who killed (G major) (A major) Davey (D major) Moore?
(G major) Why?
(A major) And what's the reason for (D major) it?
Not (G major) me, said the (D major) gamblin' man
with his ticket (G major) stub (D major) still in his hand
It was (G major) n't me that knocked him (D major) down,
my (G major) hands didn't touch him (D major) none
I didn't (G major) commit no (D major) ugly sin anyway,
I put (G major) money on him to (D major) win
It was (G major) n't me that (A major) made him (G major) fall,
you can't (A major) blame me at (D major) all
Who (G major) killed (A major) Davy (D major) Moore? Why?
And what's the reason for?
Not me, (G major) said the boxing (D major) writer
who pounds the (G major) front in his
old (D major) typewriter
Saying (G major) boxing is here (D major) to stay
There's just (G major) as much foot and danger
(D major) in a football game
Saying (G major) fist fighting is here to stay
It's just the (D major) old American way
It (G major) wasn't me that made him (D major) fall
You (A major) can't blame me at (D major) all
Who (G major) killed (A major) Davey (D major) Moore?
(G major) Why and (A major) what's the reason (D major) for it?
Not (G major) me, (D major) said the man whose fists
Laid (G major) him low in a cloud (D major) of mist
Who (G major) came here from Cuba's
(D major) door
(G major) Where boxing ain't allowed (D major) no more
(G major) I hit him, I hit him, yes it's true
(A major) But that's (G major) what I'm paid to (D major) do
Don't (G major) say murder, don't say (D major) kill
It (G major) was destiny, it was (A major) God's (D major) will
Who killed (G major) (A major) Davey (D major) Moore?
(G major) Why?
(A major) And what's the reason (D major) for?
Thank you very much.
