The Rumor

	  		(intro 2x) D F G A7 

D            G     C             D 
Now when the rumor comes to your town 
Bm           F#m             Bm      F#m    G     A 
It grows and grows, where it started no one knows 
D            G         C                    D 
Some of your neighbors will invite it right in 
Bm           F#m  Bm            F#m 
Maybe it's a lie, even if it's a sin 
        G          A     D 
They'll repeat the rumor again 

G         Gm     Em   A         D 
Close your eyes, hang down your head 
G         A         D     D7 
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away 
G           Gm    Em  A        D 
Open up your arms and feel the good 
G      A       A7          D   F  G  A7  D  F  G  A7 
It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm 

Big men, little men turned into dust 
Maybe it was all in fun, they didn't mean to ruin no one 
Could there be someone, someone here among this crowd 
Who's been accused, had his name so misused 
And his privacy refused? 

Close your eyes, hang your head 
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away 
Open up your arms and feel the good 
It's a-comin', a brand new day 
Hmm, no, no, no 

Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move 
Maybe they won't, you know I sure hope they don't 
For whether this rumor proves true or false 
You can forgive or you can regret 
But he will never ever forget 

Close your eyes, hang down your head 
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away 
Open up your arms and feel the good 
It's a-comin', a brand new day
