Rumors Runnin Round

Intro: G      C  D 


 
          G 
I was the life of the party, a Good Time Charlie 
                                                  C 
Called me Mr. Last Call, most unlikely to fall in love 
             D                            G    D  Em 
No thanks to you, now I'm the talk of the town 
D        G 
Well, my friends swore I'd never settle down forever 
                                              C 
When they see us together out on that sawdust floor 
                 D                                G 
From a fool on a stool, they all say, "Look at me now." 
 

 
D                            Em 
I hear 'em talking 'bout the line I'm walking 
       C                          G 
Saying I ain't the same, and they all blame you 
  D                                   Em 
I heard through the grapevine there's candlelight and red wine 
C                              D 
Something 'bout a diamond that might ring true 
     G 
They say talk is cheap, but the word on the street is 
                                  C 
You and me just might be settling down 
                 D               G     D 
Girl, I've heard rumors running around 
 

 
             G 
Those beauty shop gossip queens and the honky-tonk kings 
                                                          C 
Little ladies at the church, the old men down at the feed store 
                      D                        G 
Even Mama said you're what she's been praying 'bout 
 

 
D                            Em 
I hear 'em talking 'bout the line I'm walking 
       C                          G 
Saying I ain't the same, and they all blame you 
  D                                   Em 
I heard through the grapevine there's candlelight and red wine 
C                              D 
Something 'bout a diamond that might ring true 
     G 
They say talk is cheap, but the word on the street is 
                                  C

                 D               G

Call it love at first sight 
G 
How I can't go at night without holding you tight 
                              C 
Watching reruns wrapped in my arms 
                    D                     G 
And they say I'm in too deep to turn back now 
                  C                 D 
Girl, maybe these rumors ain't just rumors
