"Whispers" - Eddie Noack
A-side on the single "Whispers / Sing Me A Picture (Paint Me A Song)" (1972)
[Intro] E E7 A [Verse 1]
      A                A7           D
Every place we used to go where the lights were burning low

          E           E7                   A
We had to whisper for fear the world would learn

         A                   A7                 D
And if a friend we chance to meet while we were slipping down the street

               E         E7                  A      A7
We'd hear them whisper before our backs were turned
[Chorus]
    D
Now we've tried to do what's right

               A
We brought our love out in the light

            B7                                    E    E7
I feel like shouting from the rooftops that we're free

        A                   A7                D
For now you finally wear my name, our friends don't openly complain

              E           E7           A  A7
But they keep whispering about you and me
[Interlude] E E7 A [Verse 2]
        A                     A7               D
When we walk in a room that's filled, it seems it suddenly grows still

             E             E7              A
They've made heroes out of our old used-to-be

         A              A7              D
We get a few polite "hello"s, then they start talking in hushed tones

              E           E7           A  A7
They're still whispering about you and me
[Chorus]
          D
Now we've tried to do what's right

               A
We brought our love out in the light

            B7                                    E    E7
I feel like shouting from the rooftops that we're free

        A                   A7                D
For now you finally wear my name, our friends don't openly complain

              E           E7           A
But they keep whispering about you and me
