Split Enz - Give It A Whirl
 D/  D(x4)
AI saw you there by the side of the road
You wore long faces and long overcoats Din the rain
AWaiting for buses to carry you home
Winter wind rushes and rattles your bonDes, it's a shame
GI can see no sign of Aaction in your Bbeyes
GThere's a thrill you'll never Aknow if you never Bbtry
ARemember taking a ride on a ferris wheel
And really enjoying yoursDelf, bye bye blues
ARemember taking a bet on a race
You faced the future with a smile on your faDce, win or lose
GNo, I don't mean to Apreach, I don't mean to Bbpatronise
GThere's a thrill you'll Anever know if you never Bbtry
Why don't you Agive it a, give it a, give it a whirl
Why don't you Agive it a, give it a, give it a whirl
Why don't you Agive it a, give it a, give it a whirl
Why don't you Agive it a, give it a, give it a Bbwhirl...........
AI saw you there by the side of the road
You wore long faces and long overcDoats in the rain
AWaiting for buses to carry you home
Winter wind rushes and rattles your bonDes, it's a shame
GNo, never give Aup, giving in, it's like kissing gooBbdbye
GThere's a thrill, that you'll never Aknow, if you never Bbtry
 D/  D(x6)
Why don't you give it a whirl...

Split Enz - Give It A Whirl

D D

/ (x4)

I saw you there by the side of the road

You wore long faces and long overcoats in the rain

Waiting for buses to carry you home

Winter wind rushes and rattles your bones, it's a shame

G A Bb

I can see no sign of action in your eyes

G A Bb

There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try

Remember taking a ride on a ferris wheel

And really enjoying yourself, bye bye blues

Remember taking a bet on a race

You faced the future with a smile on your face, win or lose

G A Bb

No, I don't mean to preach, I don't mean to patronise

G A Bb

There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try

Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl

A Bb

Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl...........

I saw you there by the side of the road

You wore long faces and long overcoats in the rain

Waiting for buses to carry you home

Winter wind rushes and rattles your bones, it's a shame

G A Bb

No, never give up, giving in, it's like kissing goodbye

G A Bb

There's a thrill, that you'll never know, if you never try

D D
