The Whistling Song
Capo 1

E MajorE (octave higher)

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

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

No key

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


E MajorE              G+G
It shows the spectacle of falling
D MajorD        C majorC  E MajorE
And settles to the floor
E MajorE              G+G
It shows the spectacle of falling
D MajorD        C majorC  E MajorE
And settles to the floor
E MajorE
And settles to the floor
