Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
G                                                                                                                    D  
A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train
C                         Em  
Carrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain
G  
They were planning on getting married after graduation
D                                                                                                                                 Em  
Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down
                                                                                                C  
Things like that ain't supposed to happen
                                     G                                                 D  
In this quiet town, families are tight
                        Em                                                                                                                    C  
Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night
                                          G  
In this quiet town
                                                     G                                                                                                                            D  
When we first heard opioid stories, they were always in whispering tones
          Em                                                                                                                                    C  
Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes
Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies
G                                                                                                                                         D  
And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons
                                                                                                             Em  
Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns
                                                                  C  
Somebody's been keepin' secrets
                                        G                                                         D  
In this quiet town, they know how to live
                Em                                                                                                                 C  
Good people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive
                                          G  
In this quiet town
                                          G                                                                                                         D  
Now whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give
                                Em                                                                                                                              C  
And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live
                                                                                                G  
And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives
                                          D                                                                                                      Em  
Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down
                                                                                     C  
Well, part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky
                                        G                                            D  
In this quiet town, salt of the land
                                        Em                                                                                                                         C  
Hard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand
                                                        G  
Here in this quiet town
 G    D    Em    C)  
G  
The first crop of hay is up
D  
School let out and the sun beats down
Em  
Smoke billows from a Sunday train
C  
That cries away from a quiet town
