                 WHISPERING RAIN - MURRAY MCLAUCHLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the 1978 album of the same name
By John Will
sbw@sk.sympatico.ca
Mostly piano, the guitar is lightly fingerpicked arpeggiated chords
The Dsus2/G can be substituted for the G in most places; I think this
is likely what Murray is picking.The Gm6/Gm7 is in brackets as I think
it is the piano that plays this.There's also a steel in there in the
intro and outro.
D:xx0232 Dsus2:xx0230 Dsus2/G:xx0030 Gm:355333 or xx5333 Gm6:353353
Gm7:353363 Bm:x24432 Am:x02210 F:xx3211 C:x32010 A:x02220

Chorus:
D                         Gm     (Gm6 Gm7)
Whispering rain, careless emotion
Gm                 (Gm6 Gm7)
Rising and falling       
             D
Waves on the ocean
          Bm Am                G     Gm
Carry you on    'til nothing remains
         D    Dsus/G              D
Only the sound  of the whispering rain
F              A          D
Life sometimes seems so uncertain
       A             C             D
Like a face that you see through a curtain
       A       G        D
Like a face without any eyes
       A         G         D
Like a kiss that means goodbye
    F              A            D
You love or you're left on your own
              A             C     D
You think you know but it's all unknown
    A           G          D
You think every day is the same
            A             G          D   (fill 1)
'Til you're washed by the whispering rain
Chorus:
F                   A
I will stare like a gypsy
  D
Into the sky
        A              C        D
And the moonlight will search into my eyes
          A         G              D
'Til the strangest sound is my own name
      A              G          D
All inside me is the whispering rain
        F          A       D
All the songs that sigh among the trees
        A         G                  D
All the time that brings you to your knees
       A         G        D
People helpless when love came
A    G                 D
Lost in the whispering rain (fill 1)
Chorus:
G          D              Gm      (Gm6 Gm7)
Whispering rain, careless emotion
Gm                 (Gm6 Gm7)
Rising and falling       
             D
Waves on the ocean
          Bm Am                G     Gm
Carry you on    'til nothing remains
         D    Dsus2/G             D     Dsus2/G
Only the sound  of the whispering rain
         D    Dsus2/G             D     Dsus2/G
Only the sound  of the whispering rain
         D    
Only the sound...

of the whispering rain
