Listening to the | [G] wind   | [G]   | [G]  
| [G] Trying to hear the voice of a | [D] distant friend   | [D]   | [D]

Chorus
| [D7] Listening to the | [G] bree-   | [G] eeze   | [G]  
As it | [G] whispers through the | [D] poplar trees   | [D] | [D]

| [A7] Do you listen to the | [D] wind   | [D]   | [D7]    

| [D7] Listening to the | [G] night   | [G]   | [G]

| [A7] Listening to the | [D] night   | [D]   | [D7]  

Chorus
| [D7] Listening to the | [G] sou-   | [G] ounds   | [G]  
Of a | [G] highway through | [D] some distant town   | [D]   | [D]  
I can | [D] almost hear the | [A7] pale moon | [A7] light   | [A7]  
| [A7] Do you listen to the | [D] night   | [D]   | [D7]   | [D7]

| [D7] Listening to my | [G] mind   | [G]   | [G]    
| [G] Searching through my thoughts for the | [D] perfect line   | [D]   | [D]  
Using | [D] tricks and | [A7] telepathy at | [A7] times   | [A7]  
Do you | [A7] listen to your | [D] mind   | [D]   | [D7]  

Chorus
| [D7] Listening to the | [G] bree- | [G] eeze | [G]  
As it | [G] whispers through... | [D] ... | [D] ...the poplar trees   | [D]

| [A7] Just listening to the | [D] wind   | [D]   | [D]   | [D↓]
