Tom: G
G
[Verse 1]
G
No strangers in this town, nobody moves without making a sound
Cadd9
You live and die within the borders and the lines
G
No one dies without paying their fines
[Verse 2]
G
No lovers in this town, the moon's full but it sure ain't round
Cadd9
And just because you lie in his bed
G
Don't mean he meant the things he said
[Chorus 1]
Cadd9 G
They marry young in these parts, they work the factories
Cadd9
I ran as fast as I could, through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Em7 D G
So no one would sing some bible song over me
[Verse 3]
G
My cousin died in his sleep, forty pills, two kids to keep
Cadd9
And how will she explain to those kids
G
About the sorry thing daddy did
[Chorus 2]
Cadd9 G
They marry young in these parts, they raise their kids and set them free
Cadd9
I ran as fast as I could, through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Em7 D G
So no one would sing some bible song over me
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G
They buried him out in the cold, he was only twenty-four years old
Cadd9 D G
How his mother came undone, when the choir sang hallelujah
[Tag]
Cadd9 G
I ran as fast as I could, through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Cadd9 G
I ran as fast as I could, through the tall grass and the midnight woods
[Outro]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Hallelujah Hallelujah – ahh, Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Hallelujah hallelujah, Hallelujah
