Whistle Down The Wind chords by Tom Waits

  WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - TOM WAITS

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

[Chorus]
G
I'm not all I thought I'd be
  F#m      D
I always stayed around
 G
I've been as far as Mercy and Grand
 Em      A7
Frozen to the ground

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

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

[Instrumental Break]
D A D G Em A D D A D G Em A D G D

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

[Chorus 2]
   G
And sometimes the music from a dance
    F#m        D
Will carry across the plains
     G
And the places that I'm dreaming of
     Em      A7
Do they dream only of me?

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

     Em    A    D   G D
And be whistling down the wind
  D    A    D      G
so I will take the Marleybone coach
Em     A     D  G  D
