In the quiet morning,
D Gmaj7 D
There was much despair,
G D
And in the hours that followed,
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
No one could repair,
Am
That poor girl, tossed by the tides of misfortune,
Am
Barely here to tell her tale, rolled in on a sea of disaster,
D7 D
Rolled out on a mainline rail.
G
She once walked right at my side, I'm sure she walked by you,
Am D
Her striding steps could not deny, torment from a child who knew,
G
That in the quiet morning,
G
There would be despair,
G
And in the hours that followed,
G
No one could repair,
Am
That poor girl, she cried out her song so loud,
Am
It was heard the whole world round, a symphony of violence,
D Am7 D
The great southwest unbound,
G
La la la la la la la la la,
D G
La la, la la la la la la la,
Am Em Am
La la la la la la la la la,
Gmaj7
La la la la la,
