  WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - TOM WAITS

[Verse 1]
D MajorD   A augmentedA       D MajorD     G+G
I grew up here now all of my life
    E minorEm    A augmentedA     D MajorD G+G D MajorD
But I dreamed someday I'd go
      D MajorD     A augmentedA    D MajorD   G+G
Where the blue-eyed girls and red guitars and
   E minorEm   A augmentedA   D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
The naked rivers flow

[Chorus]
G+G
I'm not all I thought I'd be
  F# minorF#m      D MajorD
I always stayed around
 G+G
I've been as far as Mercy and Grand
 E minorEm      A7A7
Frozen to the ground

[Verse 2]
D MajorD    A augmentedA         D MajorD      G+G
I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave
   E minorEm    A augmentedA     D MajorD
Just kiss me once and then
   D MajorD   A augmentedA   D MajorD    G+G
I'll go to hell, I might as well
    E minorEm   A augmentedA    D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
Be whistlin' down the wind

[Break]
  G+G        D MajorD
The bus is at the corner
  G+G       D MajorD
The clock on the wall
 G+G      F# minorF#m
Broken down windmill
     A augmentedA
There's no wind at all
   G+G       D MajorD
I've yelled and I cursed
   G+G       D MajorD
If I stay here I'll rust
   G+G      B minorBm
I'm stuck like a shipwreck
 A augmentedA
Out here in the dust

[Instrumental Break]
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD D A augmentedA D MajorD G+G E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD

[Verse 3]
   D MajorD   A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G
The sky is red and the world's on fire
     E minorEm   A augmentedA      D MajorD
And the corn is taller than me
   D MajorD   A augmentedA     D MajorD    G+G
The dog is tied to a wagon of rain
     E minorEm     A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
And the road is as wet as the sea

[Chorus 2]
   G+G
And sometimes the music from a dance
    F# minorF#m        D MajorD
Will carry across the plains
     G+G
And the places that I'm dreaming of
     E minorEm      A7A7
Do they dream only of me?

[Verse 4]
      D MajorD   A augmentedA     D MajorD   G+G
There are places where they never sleep
     E minorEm   A augmentedA   D MajorD
And the circus never ends
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD      G+G
So I will take the Marleybone coach

     E minorEm    A augmentedA    D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
And be whistling down the wind
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD      G+G
so I will take the Marleybone coach
E minorEm     A augmentedA     D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD
