Note: Original is D, but to be able to sing it, I have to play in G. This was a very popular song from 1956/1960 and beyond. Whispering Pines as recorded by: Johnny Horton written by: Howard Hausey

^DThe snowflakes fall it's winter's call And ^Gtime just seems to ^Dfly Is it the lonely-^Gness in me That ^Dmakes me ^A7wanna ^Dcry

My heart is sad like a mourning dove

That's ^Glost it's mate in ^Dflight Hear the cooing of his ^Glonely heart Through the ^Dstillness ^A7of the ^Dnight

Chorus

Whispering ^A7Pines Whispering Pines ^Gtell me is it ^Dso Whispering ^A7Pines Whispering Pines ^Gyou're the one who ^Dknows My darlings ^A7gone oh she's gone and I ^Gneed your sympa^Dthy Whispering Pines ^GSend my ^Dbaby ^A7back to ^Dme

See that squirrel up in the tree

His ^Gmate there on the ^Dground Hear their barking ^Gcall of love From the ^Dhappine^A7ss they've ^Dfound

Is my love still my love

O^Gh this I've gotta ^Dknow Send a message ^Gby the wind Be^Dcause I ^A7love her ^Dso

Repeat chorus (and end on final verse)
