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         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


Verse
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         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



Verse
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         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
