[Verse 1]
D D/A A
You can’t eat the fruit while you're cussing the tree that it came from
A7 D
And you can't hate the father and still love his son
G D D/A
And you can't talk of peace while you carry a gun
A A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D*
'Cause actions speak louder than words
[Chorus]
G D
Actions speak louder than words don’t you know
A7 D
Flowers all grow from the seeds that we sow
G D
But a weed's still a weed boy wherever it grows
A A7 D
And actions speak louder than words
[Verse 2]
D D/A D
Hey son always sit with your back to the wall
A7 D/A D
The bigger they come boy the harder they fall
G D
And you can't learn to walk till you learn how to crawl
A A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D*
And actions speak louder than words
[Chorus]
G D
Actions speak louder than words can't you tell
A7 A D
You can't get to heaven by going through hell
G D
And your soul is the one thing you better not sell
A A D/A D* D6* D*
'Cause actions speak louder than words
[Instrumental Break]

Don't walk behind when the blind lead the blind
G D
You can follow your heart son but think with your mind
A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D*
'Cause actions speak louder than words
[Outro]
G D
Actions speak louder than words so they say
A7 D
Time is a thief son and practice don't pay
G D
There are times you should cry boy and times you should pray
A A7 D/A
'Cause actions speak louder than words
G D
Actions speak louder than words can't you see
A7 D
If your mind's in prison your soul can't be free
G D
And you can’t eat the fruit while you're cussing the tree
A A7 D/A D/A* Dsus2/A* D*
'Cause actions speak louder than words
|G |D |A7 |D |
