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
