C Em Why do you whisper, green grass? Dm F Fm Why tell the world what ain't so? C Em Dm G C G7 Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know. (Oh no...) C Em Why tell them all our secrets? Dm F Fm They're buried under the snow. C Em Dm Dm7 Whispering grass, don't tell the trees, F Fm C 'Cause the trees don't need to know. C Am Don't you tell it to the trees Dm G For they will tell the birds and bees C Am And everyone will know F G Because you told it to the trees, C Em Am Yes you told them once before, F G And it's no secret any more C Em Why tell them all those old songs? Dm F Fm They're buried under the snow. C Em Dm Dm7 Whispering grass, don't tell the trees, F Fm C 'Cause the trees don't need to know.
