Whispering Grass

A sad song made funny here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10dmK7O-KSY
These guys were in a British comedy show form the 1970's called It Ain't Half Hot Mum set in India and Burma.

A nice one to play, simple but sounds difficult. Has a sinister David Lynch feel about it too, like Blue Velvet? I think he's planning on murdering that rat in the green grass.

[C]Why do you whisper [Em]green grass [Em] [Ebm] [Dm]

[C] Whispering [A9]grass
The [Dm]trees don't [G7]need to [C]know [C] [D7] [G7]

[C]Don't you tell it [Am]to the trees
For [F]she will tell the [G7]birds and bees
And [C]everyone will [Am]know
Because you [Dm]told the blabbering [G7]trees
Yes you [Am]told them [E7]once be[Am]fore [Am6]
And it's no [Dm]secret [Bbdim]any [Dm]more [G7] [G+]

[C]Why tell them all the [Em]old things [Em] [Ebm] [Dm]
They're buried [Dm7]under the [Fm]snow

'Cause the [Dm7]trees don't [C#maj7]need to [C]know
