[fragment:]

. . . and I knew right away
That it was gossip not flowers that she had on her mind
And this is what I heard my neighbor say.

[new start, in D:]

  G                              D
A tongue can accuse or carry bad news
    G                            D
The seeds of destruction it will sow.
     G                                      D

Time out of Mind version

Capo 6th fret (original key Bb major).
The Bbdim is only a faint approximation to the wealth of notes sounding at this point (and never twice the same, it seems). A chord like x12300 or x12202 captures that fairly well, but there are really no correct chords here!
The same goes for the other two chords basically tonic, fifth and a lot of blue notes.

Album version

This is a piano song, and he prefers to play these on the black keys, hence the original key is Ab major. On a guitar this suggests a capo on the 1st fret, with the following chords:

E   B   E   B

     E               B
Tell me, I've got to know.
     E                    B
Tell me, tell me before I go.

          A
Does that fire still burn? Does that flame still glow?
   E
Or has it died out and melted like the snow.
     B        E     (E7)
Tell me. Tell me.

Tell me, what are you focused upon?
Tell me, will it come to me after you're gone? *)

Tell me now with a glance or a sigh.
Shall I hold you close or let you go by?
Tell me. Tell me.

Farewell Angeli  - na
    Fmaj7        C
The bells of the crown
          C         Fmaj7 C
Are being stolen by ban - dits
       Fmaj7      C
I must follow the sound
    C
The triangle tingles
    Fmaj7      C
the music play slow
        C        Am
But farewell Angelina
    C           Em/b
The night is on fire
F          C      Csus4 C
And I must go.

         C
There is no use in talkin'
            Fmaj7       C     Fmaj7 C
and there's no need for blame

There is nothing to prove,
     Fmaj7              C     Fmaj7 C
