[Verse 1]
Em G
Whispering
C Em
Hear the ghosts in the moonlight
Em G
Sorrow doing a new dance
C D
Through their bone, through their skin
[Verse 2]
Em G
Listening
C Em
To the souls in the fool's night
Em G
Fumbling mutely with their rude hands
C D
And there's heartache without end
[Chorus]
C Em
See the father bent in grief
G A
The mother dressed in mourning
C Em
Sister crumbles, and the neighbors grumble
G A
The preacher issues warnings
[Verse 3]
Em G
History
C Em
Little miss didn't do right
Em G
Went and ruined all the true plans
C D
Such a shame. Such a sin.
[Verse 4]
Em G
Mystery
C Em
Home alone on a school night
Em G
Harvest moon over the blue land
C D
Summer longing on the wind
[Chorus]
C Em
Had a sweetheart on his knees
G A
So faithful and adoring
C Em
And he touched me. And I let him love me.
G A
So let that be my story
[Verse 5]
Em G
Listening
C Em
For the hope, for the new life
Em G
Something beautiful, a new chance
C
Hear its whispering
D
There again
