Whispering Pines

as recorded by: Johnny Horton
written by: Howard Hausey


D MajorD
The snowflakes fall it's winter's call
  G+G         D MajorD
And time just seems to fly
         G+G
Is it the lonely-ness in me
   D MajorD     A7A7  D MajorD
That makes me wanna cry

My heart is sad like a mourning dove
    G+G         D MajorD
That's lost it's mate in flight
            G+G
Hear the cooing of his lonely heart
      D MajorD     A7A7   D MajorD
Through the stillness of the night

Chorus
      A7A7            G+G       D MajorD
Whispering Pines Whispering Pines  tell me is it so
      A7A7            G+G         D MajorD
Whispering Pines Whispering Pines  you're the one who knows
      A7A7             G+G       D MajorD
My darlings gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy
         G+G    D MajorD   A7A7   D MajorD
Whispering Pines Send my baby back to me


See that squirrel up in the tree
  G+G         D MajorD
His mate there on the ground
          G+G
Hear their barking call of love
     D MajorD   A7A7     D MajorD
From the happiness they've found


Is my love still my love
 G+G         D MajorD
Oh this I've gotta know
        G+G
Send a message by the wind
 D MajorD    A7A7    D MajorD
Because I love her so
