Lyrics & chords

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