[Intro] D F G A7 (x2) [Verse 1]
D              G    C              D
  Now when the rumor comes to your town

Bm              F#m             Bm      F#m    G     A
   It grows and grows, where it started no one knows

D              G        C                     D
  Some of your neighbors will invite it right in

Bm              F#m Bm              F#m
   Maybe it's a lie, even if it's a sin

          G        A      D
They'll repeat the rumor again
[Chorus]
G            Dm/F Em    A         D
  Close your eyes, hang down your head

G           A          D    D7
  Until the fog blows away, let it roll away

G              Dm/F Em   A        D
  Open up your arms  and feel the good

G        A         A7        D   F  G  A7
  It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm
[Verse 2]
D                 G  C            D
  Big men, little men turned into dust

Bm              F#m        Bm            F#m      G     A
   Maybe it was all in fun, they didn't mean to ruin no one

D                G                C               D
  Could there be someone, someone here among this crowd

Bm               F#m    Bm                F#m
   Who's been accused, had his name so misused

        G    A     D
And his privacy refused?
[Chorus]
G            Dm/F Em  A      D
  Close your eyes, hang your head

G           A          D    D7
  Until the fog blows away, let it roll away

G              Dm/F Em   A        D
  Open up your arms  and feel the good

G        A         A7        D   F  G  A7
  It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm
(Instrumental) [Verse 3]
D               G       C             D
  Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move

Bm            F#m             Bm     F#m       G     A
   Maybe they won't, you know I sure hope they don't

D                  G    C               D
  For whether this rumor proves true or false

Bm            F#m Bm            F#m
   You can forgive or you can regret

            G     A       D
But he will never ever forget
[Chorus]
G            Dm/F Em    A         D
  Close your eyes, hang down your head

G           A          D    D7
  Until the fog blows away, let it roll away

G              Dm/F Em   A        D
  Open up your arms  and feel the good

G        A         A7        D   F  G  A7
  It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm
