Whispering Pines
Verse
[D]The snowflakes fall it's winter's call
And [G]time just seems to [D]fly
Is it the [G]lonely-ness in me
That [D]makes me [A7]wanna [D]cry
My heart is sad like a mourning dove
That's [G]lost it's mate in [D]flight
Hear the cooing of his [G]lonely heart
Through the [D]stillness [A7]of the [D]night
Chorus
Whispering [A7]Pines Whispering Pines [G]tell me is it [D]so
Whispering [A7]Pines Whispering Pines [G]you're the one who [D]knows
My darlings [A7]gone oh she's gone and I [G]need your [D]sympathy
Whispering Pines [G]Send my [D]baby [A7]back to [D]me
See that squirrel up in the tree
His [G]mate there on the [D]ground
Hear their barking [G]call of love
From the [D][A7]happiness they've [D]found
Is my love still my love
[G]Oh this I've gotta [D]know
Send a message [G]by the wind
[D]Because I [A7]love her [D]so
