[Intro]
D F G A7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
G Dm/F Em A D
Close your eyes, hang down your head
G A D D7
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away
G Dm/F Em A D
Open up your arms and feel the good
G A A7 D F G A7
It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm
[Verse 2]
D G C D
Big men, little men turned into dust
Bm F#m Bm F#m G A
Maybe it was all in fun, they didn't mean to ruin no one
D G C D
Could there be someone, someone here among this crowd
Bm F#m Bm F#m
Who's been accused, had his name so misused
G A D
And his privacy refused?
[Chorus]
G Dm/F Em A D
Close your eyes, hang your head
G A D D7
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away
G Dm/F Em A D
Open up your arms and feel the good
G A A7 D F G A7
It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm
(Instrumental)
[Verse 3]
D G C D
Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move
Bm F#m Bm F#m G A
Maybe they won't, you know I sure hope they don't
D G C D
For whether this rumor proves true or false
Bm F#m Bm F#m
You can forgive or you can regret
G A D
But he will never ever forget
[Chorus]
G Dm/F Em A D
Close your eyes, hang down your head
G A D D7
Until the fog blows away, let it roll away
G Dm/F Em A D
Open up your arms and feel the good
G A A7 D F G A7
It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm
