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
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?

chorus
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

verse
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

chorus
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
hmm , la la la la la
oh oh la la la la la
