Verse 1
C
G
C
I discovered the valley of the shifting whispering
G
sand s while prospecting for gold in one of our
western states. I saw the silent windmills,
C
the crumbling water tanks, the bones of cattle and
G
F
C
burrows picked clean by buzzards,
bleached by the desert suns. I stumbled over a crumbling
Dm
G
buckboard nearly covered by the sand,
and stopping to rest, I heard a tinkling, whispering
C
Am
sound and suddenly realized that even though the wind was quiet,
G
F
the sand did not lie still.
C
I seemed to be surrounded by a mys tery so heavy and oppressive,
I could scarcely breathe.
D
C
D
For days and weeks I wandered aimlessly in this valley,
G
seeking answers to the many questions
Em
G
that race through my fevered mind.
C
Where was everyone?
Why the white bones, the dry wells,
the barren valley where people
must have lived and died?
Dm
G
D
Finally, I could go no farther,
G
my food
Dm
G
and water gone. I sat down and buried my face in my hands,
C
G
and resting thus, I learned the secret
F
C
of the shifting, whispering sands.
How I managed to escape from the valley,
I do not know.
Dm
Bb
G
But now, to pay my final
D
debt for being spared,
G
I must tell you what I learned
out on the desert
C
so many years ago.
F

G

When the day is hotly fired
Cm
Dm
and the breeze seems not to blow,
G
D
G
Dm
One would think the sand was resting,
G
C
but you'll find this is not so.
G
C
G

It is whispering, softly whispering,
Cdim
Dm
as it slowly moves along,
G
Dm
D
G
Dm
and for those who stop and listen,
G
D
G
C
G
F
It will sing this mourn ful song of sidewinders and the horned toads,
C
G
C
of the thorny cha par ral.
D
Endless sunny days and moonlit nights,
G
Eb
D
C
Dm
the coyotes lonely gath er.
G
C
F
How the stars sing,
C
you could touch them
Dm
As you lay and gaze on high
G
Dm
G
D
At the heav ens where we're hoping
G
We'll be glowing when
C
F
G
D
G
C
we lie
Yes, it always whispers to me
Dm
Of the days of long ago
G

When the set tlers an d the miners

How the cattle roamed the valley, happy people worked the land,

How the miner left his buckboard,

Went to work his claims that day.

And the burros broke their halters,
When they thought he'd gone
G

to stay.

Wandered far in search of water
Onto old

How they found the aged miner

lying dead upon the sand.
After months they could but wonder

and crossed his hands,
and his secret still is hidden
