The Whistling Song
Capo 1

E (octave higher)

E            G
It's the shadow in the dark
E         G
The silver in the park
E         G
It's the broken, faded bird
          D     E
You've learned to call your heart

E          G
It's not a border you can see
D       E
Plainer than you or me
E         G
I don't pull the lock back
   D   C    E
And I don't have the key

No key

E           G
It hovers in the living room
E        G
Just above the door
E         G
Whistles while it hangs there
          D   E
Feathers drip from every pore


E              G
It shows the spectacle of falling
D        C  E
And settles to the floor
E              G
It shows the spectacle of falling
D        C  E
And settles to the floor
E
And settles to the floor
