[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)
