Scuttle-butt (zack26)

The right hand plays the melody notes e-d-c on the first C chord.  If you start with the right hand on the notes g-c-e then the melody e-d-c falls into place.

Intro:   C   F   C  G   G7   C

Rumor is a wind that blows so smart,
        C                F          C    G

(continue same progression)

She’s standing there waiting at the top of the stairs 
with her eyes fixed on you like glue. 
“Where are you going now? Where-a you been’? 
What is your latest sin?” 

F
She’s into the big time.
                                     C      C7
She reads the national enquirer. 
F
She stretches the truth with such imagination 
                                        C       C7
She’s more of a writer than a liar.

She’s always ready for the worst of news,
And she’s hopin’ it may be you.
She knows all the scuttle-butt about the whatnot 
That she doesn’t want forgot. 
Rumor is a wind that blows so smart, 
It doesn’t even know who you are.

(End on C)
