So be [Bbm] careful [Eb] of the stone [Bbm] that [Gb] you [Ab] throw.

[Ab] Gossip is [Db] cheap and [Bbm]
is [Ab] low.
So unless [Db] you've made no mistakes in [Ab] your life,
[Fm] Just [C] be careful [Bbm] of the stone [C] [Eb] that you throw.
[Ab]
[Db] A neighbor was passing my garden one [Ebm] time.
[Ab] She stopped [Bb] and I knew right away [Ab] that it was [Db] gossip and not flowers she had on her mind.
[Bbm] And this [Ab] is what I heard my neighbor say,
[Eb] You know [Ab] that girl [Db] down the street should be run from our midst.
She drinks [Ab] and she talks quite a lot.
[Eb] She knows not to [Bb] speak to my child and me.
[Eb] My neighbor then [Ab] smiled and I thought,
A tongue can accuse [Db] and carry [Ab] bad news.
Gossip is [Db] cheap [F] and is [Ab] low.
So unless you've made [Db] no [Bbm]
mistakes [Ab] in your life,
Just [C] be careful of the [Eb] stone that you throw.
[Ab]
[Db] Just then a speeding car passed [Bbm] by,
[Ab] And the screaming of the brakes was a [Fm] sound that made my [Dbm] blood chill.
[Db] For my neighbor's one [Bbm] child had been [Ab] pulled from the path and saved by a girl lying [Db] still.
The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried [Ab] out,
Oh who was that brave girl so sweet?
[Eb] I covered the crushed broken body and [Ab] said,
The bad girl who lived down the street.
[Db] So unless you've made [Bbm] no [Bb] mistakes in your life,
[Ab]
Just be careful [Bbm] of the [Eb]
stone that you throw.
