Chords/Tune Req: Whispering Grass

Can anybody help me to find tab, chords or score for 'Whispering Grass'. I'm particularly interested in the Sandy Denny version.

Thanks.

Coincidence: I was playing this in the car this week(Ink Spots version).At lest I can join in the spoken bits, even if I can't reach the high notes in the sung version. Can't help with the music, I'm afraid.

Trevor, when I did a search on google, i found tabs for harmonica for this song, but not guitar, which I am guessing is what you meant?

There were a couple of other sites that looked as though they would have them. I just used "whispering grass tabs" and hit search.

I did find this, too, which may be helpful: Sandy Denny Links and Mailing Lists. Looks like a good place to start.

Good luck,

kat

Thanks kat and RtS.

I've already had a look at the Sandy denny site. Not much look with this one - I'm just going have to do it the hard way (not that listening to Sandy Denny time after time is particularly gruelling).

Cheers.

I will post them at the weekend, if nobody beats me to it ,got to go to work right now. I used to back Edinburgh singer Fiona Ross on this song years ago.

Thanks John in Brisbane for sorting this out. Had a bash at it last night - sounds great.

Cheers.

You know, Roger, I always thought it was my untrained musical ear that made all the Ink Spots' intros sound exactly the same :-)

Comes of only having fours trings on your guitar, Dai!

... four strings ... and the hole has to be in the right spot as well!

It's better than having 'fourst rings' - *ouch*
