Whistle Down the Wind Tom Waits
Capo 1st Fret
[D]I grew up h[A]ere now a[D]ll of my l[G]ife
But I d[D]reamed somed[A]ay I'd [D]go [G-D]
Where the b[D]lue-eyed g[A]irls and r[D]ed guit[G]ars and
The n[D]aked r[A]ivers fl[D]ow [G-D]
[G]I'm not all I thought I'd be
I al[Bm]ways stayed ar[D]ound
I've b[G]een as far as Mercy and Grand
Fr[Bm]ozen to the gr[A]ound
[D]I can't st[A]ay here and [D]I'm scared to l[G]eave
Just k[D]iss me o[A]nce and th[D]en [A]
I'll [D]go to h[A]ell, I m[D]ight as w[G]ell
Be wh[D]istlin' d[A]own the w[D]ind [G-D]
The b[G]us is at the c[D]orner
The cl[G]ock on the w[D]all
Br[G]oken down windm[Bm]ill
There's no wind at [A]all
I'[G]ve yelled and I c[D]ursed
If I st[G]ay here I'll r[D]ust
I'm st[G]uck like a shi[Bm]pwreck
Out here in the d[A]ust
The s[D]ky is r[A]ed and the w[D]orld's on f[G]ire
And the c[D]orn is t[A]aller than [D]me [A]
The d[D]og is t[A]ied to a [D]wagon of r[G]ain
And the r[D]oad is as w[A]et as the s[D]ea [G-D]
And s[G]ometimes the music from a dance
Will c[Bm]arry across the pl[D]ains
And the pl[G]aces that I'm dreaming of
Do they d[Bm]ream only of m[A]e?
There are pl[D]aces wh[A]ere they n[D]ever sl[G]eep
And the c[D]ircus n[A]ever [D]ends [G]
So [D]I will t[A]ake the M[D]arleybone c[G]oach
And be [D]whistling d[A]own the w[D]ind [G-D]
so [D]I will t[A]ake the M[D]arleybone c[G]oach
[D]Whistling d[A]own the w[D]ind [G] [D]
