Song Title:
“Whispering Pines”
Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:
Verse 1: (C, G, Am, E)
Underneath the whispering pines,
I found my heart lost in time.
The river’s song was our rhyme,
In the golden Appalachian sunshine.
Chorus: (F, G, C, Am)
Whispering Pines, take me home,
To the place where I was born.
In your arms, I found my rove,
Whispering Pines, you’ve carved my soul.
Verse 2: (C, G, Am, E)
Through the valleys, over the hills,
We chased the echoes, feeling the thrills.
The mountain air, the silent chills,
In your shadows, time stands still.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: (Am, G, F, C)
In the heart of the highlands pure,
Your echoes, they endure.
Tales of love and lore,
Whispering Pines, you’re my cure.
(Repeat Chorus)
