Version 1[Intro] C G7 C C7 [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 [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 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 [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
