Whispering

[Em]Whispering           [G]
Here the ghosts[C] in the moonlight             [Em]
[Em]Sorrow doing a new dance   [G]
Through their bone, th[C]rough their skin        [D]

[Em]Listening             [G]
To the soul[C]s in the fool's night        [Em]
[Em]Fumbling mutely with the[G]ir rude hands
And there's heart[C]ache without end          [D]

See the fathe[C]r bent in grief      [Em]
The mot[G]her dressed in mourning  [A]
Sister crumbles, a[C]nd the neighbors gr[Em]umble
The pr[G]eacher issues warnings     [A]

[Em]History       [G]
[C]Little miss didn't do right   [Em]
[Em]Went and ruined all the t[G]rue plans
[C]Such a shame. Such a sin.        [D]

[Em]Mystery        [G]
[C]Home alone on a school night       [Em]
[Em]Harvest moon over the blue [G]land
Summer longing[C] on the wind       [D]

Had a sw[C]eetheart on his knees   [Em]
So fa[G]ithful and adoring   [A]
And he touch[C]ed me. And I let him love me[Em].
So le[G]t that be my story   [A]

[Em]Listening        [G]
For the hope[C], for the new life         [Em]
[Em]Something beautiful, a new ch[G]ance
Hear its whis[C]pering
There again  [D]
