"THE WHISTLER"

Intro: G#m

G#m F#
I'll buy you six bay mares to put in your stable
G#m F# C#
Six golden apples bought with my pay.
G#m F#
I am the first piper who calls the sweet tune,

G#m F# C#
But I must be gone by the seventh day.

Chorus:
Bb F G# Eb
So come on, I'm the whistler.
Bb F G# Eb
I have a fife and a drum to play.
Bb F G# Eb
Get ready for the whistler.
Gm F
I whistle along on the seventh day
Gm F
Whistle along on the seventh day.

Instrumental:
A/G A/G A/G A/G x2

G#m F#
All kinds of sadness I've left behind me.
G#m F# C#
Many's the day when I have done wrong.
G#m F#
But I wll be yours for ever and ever.
G#m F# C#
Climb in the saddle and whistle along.

Chorus

Instrumental:
A/G A/G A/G A/G x2

G#m F#
Deep red are the sun-sets in mystical places.
G#m F# C#
Black are the nights on summer-day sands.
G#m F#
We'll find the speck of truth in each riddle.
G#m F# C#
Hold the first grain of love in our hands.

Chorus x2
