[Verse 1]
D D/A A You can't eat the fruit while you're cussing the tree that it came from A7 D And you can't hate the father and still love his son G D D/A And you can't talk of peace while you carry a gun A A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D* 'Cause actions speak louder than words
[Chorus]
G D Actions speak louder than words don't you know A7 D Flowers all grow from the seeds that we sow G D But a weed's still a weed boy wherever it grows A A7 D And actions speak louder than words
[Verse 2]
D D/A D Hey son always sit with your back to the wall A7 D/A D The bigger they come boy the harder they fall G D And you can't learn to walk till you learn how to crawl A A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D* And actions speak louder than words
[Chorus]
G D Actions speak louder than words can't you tell A7 A D You can't get to heaven by going through hell G D And your soul is the one thing you better not sell A A D/A D* D6* D* 'Cause actions speak louder than words

D Hey son always try to be one of a kind A7 D Don't walk behind when the blind lead the blind G D You can follow your heart son but think with your mind A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D* 'Cause actions speak louder than words
[Outro]
G D Actions speak louder than words so they say A7 D Time is a thief son and practice don't pay G D There are times you should cry boy and times you should pray A A7 D/A 'Cause actions speak louder than words G D Actions speak louder than words can't you see A7 D If your mind's in prison your soul can't be free G D And you can't eat the fruit while you're cussing the tree A A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D* 'Cause actions speak louder than words
