    Huhu. Huhu. Huhu. 
 
  
 
               D                                                   G                           D 
 
1. The snowflakes fall, as winter calls, and time just seems to fly, 
 
                           G                       D      - A                   D 
 
    is it the loneliness in me that makes      me wanna cry ? 
 
                                                                          G                     D 
 
    My heart is sad like a mourning dove that's lost its mate in flight, 
 
                                        G                                      D      - A            D 
 
    hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness    of the night. 
 
  
 
                   A                         A7      G                D 
 
Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines, tell me, is it so ? 
 
                   A                       A7     G                                 D 
 
Whisperin' pine, whisperin' pine, you are the one who knows. 
 
                    A                      A7                G                        D 
 
My darlin's gone, oh, she's gone, and I need your sympathy, 
 
                                           A      - A7             D 
 
whisperin' pines, send my baby        back to me. 
 
  
 
      D                                                      G                           D 
 
2. See that squirrel up in the tree, his mate there on the ground, 
 
                                  G                           D      A                  D 
 
    hear their barking call of love for the happiness they've found. 
 
                                                 G                      D 
 
    Is my love still my love, oh, this I've gotta know, 
 
                                G                        D       - A              D 
 
    send a message by the wind, because I      love her so.
