Quiet Town chords by The Killers

• Difficulty: Beginner

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   Em   C

          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

  D   D   Em      C

        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 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
