The Killers – Quiet Town (Guitar)

G                                            D
  A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train

           Em                                                      C
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

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

    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
  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
