This is the song that Randy Disher sings as a tribute to Monk when he thinks Monk has been killed.
It originally has many more verses but this is sadly the only part we get to hear because Capt. Stottlemeyer
interrupts Randy. Still, an awesome song!
[Intro]
Am G Em Am (x2)
[Verse]
Am G
Why, tell me why
Em Am
Did a man have to die?
Am G
Shot down in his prime
Em (let it ring) Am
Forty-eight... or forty-nine?
