Capo on 3rd fret
[Intro]
G D Em C
[Verse 1]
G D A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train
Em CCarrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain
GThey were planning on getting married after graduation
D EmHad a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down
CThings like that ain't supposed to happen
[Chorus 1]
G DIn this quiet town, families are tight
Em CGood people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night
GIn this quiet town

[Verse 2]
G DWhen we first heard opioid stories, they were always in whispering tones
Em CNow banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes
Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies
G DAnd merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons
EmLaying there lifeless in their suits and gowns
CSomebody's been keepin' secrets
[Chorus 2]
G DIn this quiet town, they know how to live
Em CGood people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive
GIn this quiet town

[Verse 3]
G DNow whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give
Em CAnd I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live
GAnd every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives
D EmOffering their son the kind of love he could never put down
CWell, part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky
[Chorus 3]
G DIn this quiet town, salt of the land
Em CHard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand
GHere in this quiet town
G D Em C

[Outro]
G The first crop of hay is up
DSchool let out and the sun beats down
Em Smoke billows from a Sunday train
CThat cries away from a quiet town
G D Em C
