Chords

[Chorus]
   F            C        F          C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news

     F          C            G7
The seed of distrust it will sow

     F               C          G7            F
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life

    C           G7    F        C

SPOKEN
[tab]C
Why a neighbor lady was passin' my garden one time

F
And she stopped and I knew right away

      G7          F
That gossip not flowers she had on her mind

    G7
And this is what I heard her say

          C
She said, you know that girl down the street, David Allan?
She should be run from our 'midst
F
Why, she drinks and she talks quite a lot

G7                                  F
Well she knows not to speak to my child or to me

        C
And my neighbor then smiled, and I thought
[Chorus]
   F            C        F          C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news

     F          C            G7
The seed of distrust it will sow

     F               C          G7            F
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life

    C           G7    F        C
Be careful of stones that you throw
SPOKEN
C
Well a car speeding by and the screaming of brakes

F
A screamin' that made my blood chill

       G7                             F
And my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path

     G7
And saved by a girl that was lyin' still

C
And the child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out, she said

F
Oh who was that brave girl so sweet

G7                           F
And I covered the crushed broken body and said,

C
Why that was that bad girl that lived down the street
[Chorus]
   F            C        F          C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news

     F          C            G7
The seed of distrust it will sow

     F               C          G7            F
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life

    C           G7    F        C
Be careful of stones that you throw
