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