Rumors chords by Syndicate Of Sound

Chords with lyrics

Originaly cut for SOS's only non-compilation LP, "Little Girl", on a $1,500
production
budget. It was released soon afterwards as the follow-up single to "Little
Girl". The
song never made it to the Top 40, as all of their singles to follow would.
