[Chorus]
F C F C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
F C G7
The seed of distrust it will sow
F C G7 F
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life
C G7 F C
Be careful of stones that you throw

SPOKEN
C
Why a neighbor lady was passin' my garden one time
F
And she stopped and I knew right away
G7 F
That gossip not flowers she had on her mind
G7
And this is what I heard her say
C
She said, you know that girl down the street, David Allan?
She should be run from our 'midst
F
Why, she drinks and she talks quite a lot
G7 F
Well she knows not to speak to my child or to me
C
And my neighbor then smiled, and I thought

[Chorus]
F C F C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
F C G7
The seed of distrust it will sow
F C G7 F
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life
C G7 F C
Be careful of stones that you throw

SPOKEN
C
Well a car speeding by and the screaming of brakes
F
A screamin' that made my blood chill
G7 F
And my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path
G7
And saved by a girl that was lyin' still
C
And the child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out, she said
F
Oh who was that brave girl so sweet
G7 F
And I covered the crushed broken body and said,
C
Why that was that bad girl that lived down the street

[Chorus]
F C F C
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
F C G7
The seed of distrust it will sow
F C G7 F
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life
C G7 F C
Be careful of stones that you throw
