E5                   G5
Whispering
               C5                             E5
Here the ghosts in the moonlight
E5                         G5
Sorrow doing a new dance
                      C5                       D5
Through their bone, through their skin

E5                    G5
Listening
           C5                            E5
To the souls in the fool's night
E5                      G5
Fumbling mutely with their rude hands
                 C5                         D5
And there's heartache without end

             C5                    E5 
See the father bent in grief
       G5                        A5
The mother dressed in mourning
                  C5                  E5
Sister crumbles, and the neighbors grumble
      G5                          A5
The preacher issues warnings

E5            G5
History
C5                             E5
Little miss didn't do right
E5                       G5
Went and ruined all the true plans
C5                                D5
Such a shame. Such a sin.

E5             G5
Mystery
C5                                  E5
Home alone on a school night
E5                         G5
Harvest moon over the blue land
              C5                  D5
Summer longing on the wind

        C5                       E5 
Had a sweetheart on his knees
     G5                    A5
So faithful and adoring
            C5                           E5 
And he touched me. And I let him love me.
     G5                    A5
So let that be my story

E5               G5
Listening
            C5                          E5
For the hope, for the new life
E5                           G5
Something beautiful, a new chance
             C5 
Hear its whispering
             D5
There again
