Verse 1
shifting whispering sands
While prospecting for gold in one of
Dm
G
our western states.
D
G
I saw the silent windmills,
D
G
the crumbling water tanks
D
G
The bones of cattle and burrows,
C
picked clean by buzzards
G
C
Bleached by the desert sun.
Verse 2
C
I stumbled over a crumbling buckboard
nearly covered by the sands
Dm
And stopping to rest I heard
G
Dm
a tinkling whispering sound
that even though
Dm
G
The wind was quiet the
D
G
sand did not lie still.
Verse 3
C
I seemed to be surrounded
D
C
by a mystery so heavy
could scarcely breath
For days and weeks I wandered
C
aimlessly in this valley
Seeking answers to the many
questions
That raced through my
fevered mind.
Verse 4
D
Where was everyone why the white bones,
the dry wells
G
The barren valley where people
must have lived and died
C
Finally I could go no farther
G
C
my food and water gone
I sat down and buried my face
G
in my hands and resting thus
C
I learnt the secret of the shifting
Verse 5
whispering sands.
D
G
How I escaped from
D
the valley I do not know
Dm
But now to pay my final
Dm
G
I must tell you what I learned
out there on the desert
Verse 6

(When the day is oddly quiet

And the breeze seems not to blow

But you'll find this is not so.

It is whisp'ring softly whisp'ring

As it slowly moves along

And for those who stop and listen

It will sing this mournful song.

In the sunny days and moonlight nights

The coyote's lonely yell.

How the stars seem you

could touch them

As you lay and gaze on high

At the Heavens where we're hoping

We'll be go ing when we die...)
