Whispering Grass Chords

(ver. 1)
Sandy Denny
[Intro]
G  E  Am  D
 
[Verse]
G                   Bm7
Why do you whisper, green grass,
Am7          C                Cm7 F
Why tell the trees what ain't so ?
G          Bm         Am          D       G    E  Am  D
Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know,   no, no, no.
 
G                      Bm7
Why tell them all your secrets,
Am               C       Cm7
Who kissed there long ago ?
G          Bm         Am          D       G    C  G   D
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know.
 
[Chorus]
    G                 Em                 Am              D
Now don't you tell it to the breeze, or she will tell it to the trees,
    G             Em    C           D
And everyone will know, because you told them once before.
Em       B7               Em   E7 Am        C         Am7   D
Yes, you told them once before,     it's no secret anymore.
 
[Verse]
G                    Bm
Why tell them all the old things,
Am             C         Cm7
They're buried under the snow,
G          Bm           Am7      Cm7
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees,
           C           Cm7     G     D
'Cause the trees don't need to know.
 
[Solo]
G   Em    C     D
G   Em    C     D
 
[Interlude]
G         Bm    Am7        C    Cm7
Hmmm hmmm hmmm  Hmmm hmmm hmmm
G         Bm    Am7        D    G  Em  C D
Hmmm hmmm hmmm  Hmmm hmmm hmmm
 
[Verse]
G                      Bm
Why tell them all your secrets,

Who kissed there long ago ?
G          Bm         Am          D       G    C   G   D
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know.
 
[Chorus]
         G                     Em
(spoken) Now don't you tell it to the breeze,
       C                        D
'Cause she will run and tell it to the trees,
    G                  Em    C                               D
And everyone will know.    Because you told them once before,
     Em            B7         Em   E7             Am        C         Am7  D
yes, you told them once before,       that's why  it's no secret anymore,
 
[Verse]
G                     Bm
Why tell them all the old things,
Am7                C         Cm
They're buried under the snow,
G          Bm           Am7      Cm
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees,
           C           Cm7     G     C G
'Cause the trees don't need to know.
