[Intro]
D  C  G  D  G
[Verse 1]
I will sDhare with you the warmth of a sCummer evening's bGreeze
A loving word thats whispered soft and Dlow
But the way of life I've chosen can be Cled by only Gone
I'll tell this to you Dnow so you will Gknow
[Chorus]
Cause there's a Dwhistle on the river, and its Ccalling with a Gtune
That's Dburied deep inside of me, and CI'll be leaving Gsoon
There's a Drhythm from the wheels, and the Cwings are on my Gheels
And the winds are singing Dperfect harmoGny
[Verse 2]
I'm like Dany man whose in his prime, and Cdreams of things Gundone
And  must be free to wander where he Dmay
Can't be burdened by a love or a Ctask to tie me Gdown
Please believe me when I Dsay I cannot Gstay
[Chorus]
Cause there's a Dwhistle on the river, and its Ccalling with a Gtune
That's Dburied deep inside of me, and CI'll be leaving Gsoon
There's a Drhythm from the wheels, and the Cwings are on my Gheels
And the winds are singing Dperfect harmoGny
[Bridge]
D  C  G G D  G
[Verse 3]
I Dknow its hard to realize when CI must leave agGain
But your rival is not something you can Dsee
Its not easy to explain, my Cattempt would be in Gvain
But perhaps you'll undersDtand that it must Gbe
[Chorus]
Cause there's a Dwhistle on the river, and its Ccalling with a tGune
That's Dburied deep inside of me, and CI'll be leaving Gsoon
There's a Drhythm from the wheels, and the Cwings are on my Gheels
And the winds are singing Dperfect harmoGny
[Outro]
And the Dwinds are singing perfect CharmoGny
