Chorus:
  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

Verse 1:
  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


Chorus:
  F                               C

    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


Verse 2:
  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


Chorus:
  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
