In the quiet morning
Joan Baez
A
In the quiet morning
There was much despair
And in the hours that followed
A7
No one could repair
D
That poor girl
E
Tossed by the tides of misfortune
E7
Barely here to tell her tale
E
Rolled in on a sea of disaster
E7 E E7
Rolled out on a mainline rail
A
She once walked tight at my side
I'm sure she walked by you
D
Her striding steps could not deny
E E7
Torment from a child who knew
A
That in the quiet morning
There would be despair
And in the hours that followed
A7
No one could repair
D
That poor girl
E
She cried out her song so loud
E7
It was heard the whole world round
D
A symphony of violence
E E7
The great southwest unbound
A
La la laaaa larala la la
E
La la laaaa lara la
D E
La la laaa larala la la
D
La la la laaa
A
La la laaaaa
