Hank Williams – Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw (Guitar)

  F                               C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news

    F                         C    C7
The seeds of distrust it will sow

      F                                    C
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life

              G7              C


[Verse 1]
[tab]  C                       F
A neighbor was passing my garden one time

    C
She stopped and I knew right away

            G7
That it was gossip not flowers she had on her mind

C
And this is what I heard my neighbor say

      C                              F
"That girl down the street should be run from our midst

    C
She drinks and she talks quite a lot

    G7
She knows not to speak to my child or to me"

   C
My neighbor then smiled and I thought

  F                               C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news

    F                         C    C7
The seeds of distrust it will sow

      F                                    C
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life

              G7              C
Be careful of stones that you throw

  C                      F
A car speeded by and the screaming of brakes

  C
A sound that made my blood chill

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

    C
And saved by a girl lying still

    C                       F
The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out

    C
"Oh who was that brave girl so sweet?"

  G7
I covered the crushed broken body and sad

    C                  C7
The bad girl who lived down the street

  F                               C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news

    F                         C    C7
The seeds of distrust it will sow

      F                                    C
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life

              G7              C
Be careful of stones that you throw
