WHISPERING PINES

 

     - - - - - - - - - - -   D

    Huhu. Huhu. Huhu.

 

               D                                                   G                           D

1. The snowflakes fall, as winter calls, and time just seems to fly,

                           G                       D      - A                   D

    is it the loneliness in me that makes      me wanna cry ?

                                                                          G                     D

    My heart is sad like a mourning dove that's lost its mate in flight,

                                        G                                      D      - A            D

    hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness    of the night.

 

                   A                         A7      G                D

Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines, tell me, is it so ?

                   A                       A7     G                                 D

Whisperin' pine, whisperin' pine, you are the one who knows.

                    A                      A7                G                        D

My darlin's gone, oh, she's gone, and I need your sympathy,

                                           A      - A7             D

whisperin' pines, send my baby        back to me.

 

      D                                                      G                           D

2. See that squirrel up in the tree, his mate there on the ground,

                                  G                           D      A                  D

    hear their barking call of love for the happiness they've found.

                                                 G                      D

    Is my love still my love, oh, this I've gotta know,

                                G                        D       - A              D

    send a message by the wind, because I      love her so.

 

+ CHORUS
