Chords with lyrics
The Whistle Is Blowing
Performed by Marcus Mumford. Standard tuning on acoustic. This is how I play it and
it sounds good.
C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm Am/GAm/G F/CF/C
The whistle is blowing, and the train is going
C/GC/G G+G C majorC
Just what's gonna happen next, well, I'm not one to say
C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm Am/GAm/G F/CF/C
I'm sitting here yearning while those wheels keep turning
C/GC/G G+G C majorC
"I'll be gone by tonight," she told me today
C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm Am/GAm/G F/CF/C
And next door to the cornstalk by the side of this sheet rock
C/GC/G G+G C majorC
I will wait for the morning like a dog in the moon
F/CF/C C majorC
Blow, blow on
F/CF/C C majorC
Blow, blow on
C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm Am/GAm/G F/CF/C
Oh the minutes go slow now, and I hope it don't snow now
C/GC/G G+G C majorC
'Cause it's quiet and still and that train's out of sight
C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm Am/GAm/G F/CF/C
All we need is a fat storm to blow by the platform
C/GC/G G+G C majorC
Oh dear me, that woman, that woman's always right
F/CF/C C majorC
Blow, blow on
F/CF/C C majorC
Blow, blow on
(I repeat chords: C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm Am/GAm/G F/CF/C C/GC/G G+G C majorC )
F/CF/C C majorC
Blow, blow on
F/CF/C C majorC
Blow, blow on
C/GC/G E MajorE A minorAm Am/GAm/G F/CF/C
The whistle is blowing, and the train is going
C/GC/G G+G C majorC
Just what's gonna happen next, well, I'm not the one to say
