   C               G
Nobody knows about
                   Am
Nobody knows about
                       Em
What's goin' on down there
  C                    G
Who's gonna tell about
                       Am
Who's gonna tell about
                        Em
What's goin' on down there


  A
They dragged the Mississippi for the three lost men
      Am
They came up with other guys, eight, nine, ten
 B                   Em    G
And threw them back again, Oh


   C               G
Nobody knows about
                   Am
Nobody knows about
                       Em
What's goin' on down there

                       Am
Who's gonna tell about
                        Em
What's goin' on down there

You try to register like the constitution said
       Am
They take away your job and they take away your bread;
 B                    Em   G
You might as well be dead, Oh


   C               G
Nobody knows about
                   Am
Nobody knows about
                       Em
What's goin' on down there

Who's gonna tell about
                       Am
Who's gonna tell about
                        Em
What's goin' on down there


       A
They throw you into jail all covered with blood
  Am
F.B.I. man won't do you any good;
 B                 Em    G
He also wears the hood, Oh


   C               G
Nobody knows about
                   Am
Nobody knows about
                       Em
What's goin' on down there

Who's gonna tell about
                       Am
Who's gonna tell about
                        Em
What's goin' on down there


      A
You stand up like a man and they cut you in two
      Am
The killer goes to trial, but what good does it do?
 B                 Em  G
He's on the jury, too, Oh


   C               G
Nobody knows about
                   Am
Nobody knows about
                       Em
What's goin' on down there
  C                    G
Who's gonna tell about
                       Am
Who's gonna tell about
                        Em
What's goin' on down there


      A
The newspaper pages have nothing to say
       Am
They either tell lies or they hide it all away
 B                  Em    G
Day after day after day, Oh


   C               G
Nobody knows about
                   Am
Nobody knows about
                       Em
What's goin' on down there
  C                    G
Who's gonna tell about
                       Am
Who's gonna tell about
                        Em
What's goin' on down there


     A
We sing you this song so you know what's true
            Am
And you've got to take the story everywhere you go
  B                Em   G
Because it's up to you, Oh


   C               G
Nobody knows about
                   Am
Nobody knows about
                       Em
What's goin' on down there
  C                    G
Who's gonna tell about
                       Am
