Chord

The [D] snowflakes fall, it's winter's call
And [G] time just seems to [D] fly
Is it the loneli-[G] ness in me
That [D] makes me [A7] wanta [D] cry
My heart is sad like a mourning dove
That's [G] lost it's mate in [D] flight
Hear the cooin' of his [G] lonely heart
Through the [D] stillness [A7] of the [D] night.

CHORUS
Whisperin' [A7] Pines, Whisperin' Pines
[G] Tell me is it [D] so
Whisperin' [A7] Pines, Whisperin' Pines
[G] You're the one whwho [D] knows
My darlin's [A7] gone, oh, she's gone
And I [G] need your sym-pa-[D] thy
Whisperin' Pines
[G] Send my [D] baby [A7] back to [D] me.

See [D] that squirrel up in the tree
His [G] mate there on the [D] ground
Hear their barking [G] call of love
From [D] the happ-[A7] iness they've [D] found
Is my love still my love?
Oh, [G] this I've gotta [D] know
Send a message [G] by the wind
Because [D] I [A7] love her [D] so.
