Standard (EADGBE)

In the quiet morning

There was much despair

And in the hours that followed

 No one could repair

That poor girl

Tossed by the tides of misfortune

Barely here to tell her tale

Rolled in on a sea of disaster

Rolled out on a mainline rail

She once walked tight at my side

I'm sure she walked by you

Her striding steps could not deny

 Torment from a child who knew

That in the quiet morning

There would be despair

And in the hours that followed

 No one could repair

That poor girl

She cried out her song so loud

 It was heard the whole world round

A symphony of violence

 The great southwest unbound

La la laaaa larala la la

 La la laaaa lara la

La la laaa larala la la

 La la la laaa

La la laaaaa
