Johnny Cash - The Shifting, Whispering Sands, Pt. II: Guitar Chords

E
Listen to the angel's story of the Shifting,
            A
Whispering Sands

A
Yes they always whisper to me
                      E
Of the days of long ago
When the settler and the miner
                       A
Fought the crafty Navajo

How the cattle roamed the valley
Happy people worked the land
Now everything is covered
By The Shifting, Whispering Sands

Chorus:
   D
A miner left his buck board
         A
Went to work his claim that day
         B
And the burrows broke their halters
            E
When they thought he'd gone to stay

How they found that ancient miner
Lying dead upon the sands
And for months they could but wonder
Did he die by human hands?

So they dug his grave and laid him
On his back and crossed his hands
And his secret still is covered
By the Shifting, Whispering Sands

Chorus:
         E
And his secret is still hidden
                             A
By the Shifting, Whispering Sands

A
This is what they always whisper to me
Out on the quiet desert air
E
Of the people and the cattle
And that miner lying there
A
So if you want to learn the secret
                           E
Wander through this quiet land
And I'm sure you'll hear the story
                             A
Of the Shifting, Whispering Sands
         E
And I'm sure you'll hear the story
                             A
Of the Shifting, Whispering Sands
