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
