CHORUS:
A t[F]ongue can acc[C]use and c[F]arry bad ne[C]ws
The s[F]eed of dist[C]rust it will [G7]sow
But u[F]nless you have m[C]ade no mist[G7]akes in your l[F]ife
Be c[C]areful of st[G7]ones t[F]hat you t[C]hrow
(SPOKEN)
[C]Why a neighbor lady was passin' my garden one time
[F]And she stopped and I knew right away
That g[G7]ossip not fl[F]owers she had on her mind
And [G7]this is what I heard her say
She said, [C]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]Well she knows not to speak to my ch[F]ild or to me
And my n[C]eighbor then smiled, and I thought
CHORUS
(SPOKEN)
[C]Well a car speeding by and the screaming of brakes
[F]A screamin' that made my blood chill
And my [G7]neighbor's one child had been p[F]ulled from the path
And s[G7]aved 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]And I covered the crushed bro[F]ken body and said,
[C]Why that was that bad girl that lived down the street
