The house you live in now is quite

                   F                C
And the street you walk with him is bright

   F                    G7             C      F
Oh you should know that talk would get around

      C                F           C
Cause bad news travels fast in our town

Not so long ago you were my bride

                        F                  C

    F               G7            C        F
And if that doesn’t bother you at all just look around
 
      C                F           C     F
Cause bad news travels fast in our town  look around
