A Whistler Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]I l[Am]ike t[Em]o wh[E]istle.
Do it all the [Em]time.[E][Em]
[C]Used to do it [Am]as a kid.[Fm]
Yeah.
When I was about five years old,
They used to [E]say,
[F]here's some money [E]for birdseed.
[G]Whistling kept me c[Am]ompany.
[Em]I wa[Fm]s never v[Am]ery good.
I [Em]couldn't whistle with two fingers or
[F]through [Am]your[F] teeth.
[E]But I l[Fm]iked to whistle.
[F#m]Then I heard about [C#m]classical [Am]music,
[F]and I used [Am]to listen to it, and I
tried [Em]to whistle like that.
And that became special.
[Am]To l[F#m]earn to wh[Fm]istle spe ci[Em]al.[E]
[Am]So t[Em]hat, [E]wal[Em]king d[E]own the[Em]
[E]street, someone [Em]would listen to [Am]you,
[Em]and they'd s[E]ay, there's a special whistler.
[Em]Oh, I prac[C#m]ticed.[E]
But [Am]it d[E]idn't do anything for me.
The special [G]whistling.
[E]It was[Em] too
[E]classical [C]who kno[E]ws
Bach an[F#m]d I was trying to whistle like[E]
[Am]Bach[E] and I did[Fm]
that [E]for a while but nobody paid any
attention I guess they figured it [E]was
funny to whistle like
[E]Bach, so I stopped,
[Am]started [F]to whistle like [Fm]everyb[F]ody else
[F]does.
Now they look at me [E]and they s[E]mile.
I [F#m]earned a [Am]smile.[E][F]
[E]Never used to happen to
me when I was whist[Fm]ling
[E]Bach. I [E]just whistled things that I hear
[Am]on the jukeboxes, yo[F]u know.
And people [E]say, well,
gotta [F]leave you now.
[E]Keep [F]whistling.
[Em]You[F]
