Verse III:                         |  Verse IV:
At the end of the day,             |  When you greet a stranger,
I'll forget your name.             |  Look at his shoes.
I'd like it here if I couldn't     |  Keep your memories in your shoes,
Even see you from a long way away. |  Put your travel behind.

CHORUS (as above):

Break:
Em
At the end of the day,
When there are no friends.

Verse V: (wierd but it works)         Verse VI:
And there are no lovers.           |  Familiar face, a boring place,
Who are you going to call for?     |  I'll forget your name.
What do you have to change.        |  I'd like it here if I couldn't
(Mike Mills in the background)     |  Even see you from a long way away.

CHORUS (as above) END


WENDELL GEE
 
 C                    Dm
 That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug
   G         G7         Em               G
 Upon the string that held the line of trees
 C                    Dm
 Behind the house he lived in
	   G             G7
 He was reared to give respect
       Em                 G        F
 But somewhere down the line he chose
		     C Em F
 To whistle as the wind  blows
  F              C      G                 C
 Whistle as the wind   blows through the leaves
 
  {same as before}
 He had a dream one night
 That the tree had lost its middle
 So he built a trunk of chicken wire
 To try to hold it up but the wire the wire turned to lizard skin
 And when he climbed it sagged
  F                  C        Em     F
 There wasn't even time to say
  F                  C        G      F
 Goodbye to Wendell Gee
		     C       Em      F
 So whistle as the wind blows
		   C    G                    C  (second time through, play F)
 Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves
 
		   C      Em      F 
 If the wind were colors
			C     G   F
 And if the air could speak
		       C      Em  F
 Then whistle as the wind blows
		 C     G     C
 Whistle as the wind blows
