So here are the tabs I use for 'Whispering.' Normally, all verses return to the plucked pattern, but I like to build the song more by strumming my way through verse 3 & 4. I'll provide the chord shapes I use for those verses. Intro: E-7 A7/E C/E E-9 | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | e |-------3---------|-------5---------|-------3---------|-------2---------| B |---3-------------|---2-------------|---1-------------|---0-------------| G |-----0-----------|-----0-----------|-----0-----------|-----0-----------| D |-2---------------|-2---------------|-2---------------|-2---------------| A |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| E |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| [[Verse 1]]: (Lyrics not written rhythmically.)

[[Refrain]]: (I'm just going to give the major beats, strum accordingly) C (sus) E- (sus) G A11 See the father bent in grief The mother dressed in mourning | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | e |(0)--------------|(0)--------------|-3-----3-----3---|-5-----5-----5---| B |(0)--------------|(0)--------------|-3-----3-----3---|-5-----5-----5---| G |-0-----0-----0---|-0-----0-----0---|-0-----0-----0---|-0-----0-----0---| D |-2-----3-----4---|-4-----6-----8---|-0-----0-----0---|-0-----0-----0---| A |-3-----5-----7---|-7-----9----10---|-2-----2-----2---|-4-----4-----4---| E |-----------------|-0-----0-----0---|-3-----3-----3---|-5-----5-----5---| C (sus) E- (sus) G A11 Sister crumbles, and the neighbors...
