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

[Chorus]
                   C    Em    F
So whistle as the wind blows
                C     G          C
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

[Verse 2]
C                     Dm
  He had a dream one night,
           G                G7
that the tree had lost its middle
       Em                G
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
C                   Dm
  to try to hold it up
         G         G7             Em
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin,
     G                 F
and when he climbed inside
                   C      Em   F
There wasn't even time to say
                    C   G  F
goodbye to Wendell Gee

[Chorus]
                   C    Em    F
So whistle as the wind blows
                C     G          C
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

[Verse 3]
C Dm G G7 Em G
C Dm G G7 Em G F
                   C      Em   F
There wasn't even time to say
                    C   G  F
goodbye to Wendell Gee

[Outro]
                   C    Em    F
So whistle as the wind blows
                C     G          F
Whistle as the wind blows, with me
                  C  Em   F
If the wind were colours,
                       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, with me
