Verse 1
A (C major) tongue (F major) can (C major) (F major) accuse,
and (C major) carry bad news
A (F major) seed of distrust it will sow (C major)
But un (F major) less you have made
No mistakes (C major) in your life, (A minor)
be (C major) careful of (G major) stones that you throw. (C major) (G major) (A major) (G major)
(C major) Why a neighbor lady was passin' my garden one time and (F major) she (C major) stopped
and I knew right away (F major) that (G major) (D major) gossip not (G major) flowers she had (G minor) on her mind
(G major) and this is what I heard her say (C major)
she (G major) said (C major) you know that girl
down the street
David Allen she should be
run from our midst
why (F major) she drinks (C major) an d she talks quite (F major) a lot
(G major) well she knows not to speak
to my child or to me
and my neighbor then smiled and
A (C major) tongue (F major) can accuse,
and (C major) carry bad news
A (F major) seed of distrust it will sow (C major)
But un (F major) less you have made
no mis (C major) takes in your life (A minor)
Be (C major) careful of stones (G major) that you throw (C major) (G major)
(C major) Well a car speeding by
and the screaming of brakes, (F major)
a (C major) screaming that made (F major) my blood chill
and (G major) my neighbor's one (D major) child
(G major) had been pulled from the path and
saved (C major) by a (G major) girl that (C major) was lying still
and the child was un (G major) hurt
and (C major) my neighbor cried out
(D major) she said (E minor) oh (F major) who was that
(C major) brave girl (F major) so sweet
I (G major) covered the crushed (D major) broken (G major) body
and said why (D major) that (G major) was that bad
girl that lived down (C major) the street
(D major) A (C major) tongue (F major) can accuse,
and (C major) carry (G major) bad (C major) news
The (F major) seed of distrust it will sow (C major) (G major) (C major)
But (D minor) (C major) un (F major) less you have made
no mistakes (C major) in your life, (A minor)
be (C major) careful of (G major) stones that you throw.
(C major) (F major)
