Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw by David Allan Coe Guitar Chords

[Chorus]
   G            D        G          D
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
     G          D            A7
The seed of distrust it will sow
     G               D          A7            G
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life
    D           A7    G        D
Be careful of stones that you throw

SPOKEN
D
Why a neighbor lady was passin' my garden one time
G
And she stopped and I knew right away
      A7          G
That gossip not flowers she had on her mind
    A7
And this is what I heard her say
          D
She said, you know that girl down the street, David Allan?
She should be run from our 'midst
G
Why, she drinks and she talks quite a lot
A7                                  G
Well she knows not to speak to my child or to me
        D
And my neighbor then smiled, and I thought

[Chorus]
   G            D        G          D
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
     G          D            A7
The seed of distrust it will sow
     G               D          A7            G
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life
    D           A7    G        D
Be careful of stones that you throw

SPOKEN
D
Well a car speeding by and the screaming of brakes
G
A screamin' that made my blood chill
       A7                             G
And my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path
     A7
And saved by a girl that was lyin' still
D
And the child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out, she said
G
Oh who was that brave girl so sweet
A7                           G
And I covered the crushed broken body and said,
D
Why that was that bad girl that lived down the street

[Chorus]
   G            D        G          D
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
     G          D            A7
The seed of distrust it will sow
     G               D          A7            G
But unless you have made no mistakes in your life
    D           A7    G        D
Be careful of stones that you throw
