  WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - TOM WAITS
[Verse 1]
DI grew Aup here now alDl of my liGfe
But I drEmeamed somAeday I'd gDoG  D  
Where the blDue-eyed giArls and rDed guitGars and
The naEmked rivAers flDowG  D  
[Chorus]
GI'm not all I thought I'd be
I alF#mways stayed aroDund
I'Gve been as far as Mercy and Grand
FrEmozen to the grA7ound
[Verse 2]
DI can't sAtay here and I'm scDared to leavGe
Just Emkiss me oAnce and thDen
I'll gDo to heAll, I mDight as wGell
Be whisEmtlin' doAwn the wiDndG  D  
[Break]
The Gbus is at the coDrner
The Gclock on the wDall
BrGoken down winF#mdmill
There's nAo wind at all
I've yGelled and I cuDrsed
If I sGtay here I'll rDust
I'm stGuck like a shBmipwreck
OuAt here in the dust
[Instrumental Break]
D A D G Em A D D A D G Em A D G D
[Verse 3]
The sDky is rAed and the worlDd's on fiGre
And the coEmrn is taAller than meD  
The dDog is tAied to a wDagon of rGain
And the rEmoad is as wAet as the sDeaG  D  
[Chorus 2]
And soGmetimes the music from a dance
Will caF#mrry across the plaiDns
And the plGaces that I'm dreaming of
Do they drEmeam only of mA7e?
[Verse 4]
There are plDaces whAere they neDver sleGep
And the ciEmrcus nevAer endDs
So DI will tAake the MDarleybone coGach
And be whEmistling dAown the wDindG  D  
so DI will tAake the DMarleybone coGach
EmWhistling dAown the wiDndG  D
