B                                               G#m
Have you heard the home town gossip  Small town news
B                 E        F#      B 
Tell me dear is what I'm hearing true


B                     G#m           E              B 
Honey put down that magazine Don't turn your head away
B                G#m              E                F#
Put your mind on me for once and what I've got to say
E                  B               G#m        E
Someone said they saw you on the Westend Aven-ue
         B             G#m         E             F#      B  
With a woman who sure wasn't me walking pretty close to you

go to chorus
               B 
Listen to the home town gossip  Small town news
E                                                 B
You can never know for certain and so I'm asking you
B                                               G#m   
Have you heard the home town gossip  Small town news
B                E         F#     B    
Tell me dear is what I'm hearing true?



B               G#m               E                   B
Haven't I been good to you and raised your children right
B                     G#m             E                F# 
But Lord they need a daddy too that comes home every night
      E             B             G#m             E    
Now baby I'm not accusing you but look me in the eye
     B             G#m          E              F#       B    
And tell me am I losing you or is this just a low down lie


go to chorus, ending vamps on Hometown gossip, small town news
to fade.
