 C               Am          F            Am      C 
Hey, I found a whistle that hangs like a charm 
             Am                    F 
And when my noose is tied I could blow it 
     G                   Em 
And fall down into your arms 
       D             Em           B 
15 centuries of dissolution and grief 
     C                 G             F 
To return a yellow trickster and a thief
[Strophe]
 C               Am           F          Am     C 
Hey, I found a whistle that works every time 
                 Am                F 
That's when the trail escapes to nowhere 
          G               Em 
And the flood erases the crime 
         D           Em                            B 
Such conviction, to paint all the walls with the blood 
         C              G              F 
Of the young and the faithful and the good
[Strophe]
 C                Am        F         Am     C 
Yeah, I found a whistle as thin as a sheet 
                Am           F 
To split the dumbness of a vision 
  G                  Em 
Between a sleep and asleep 
      D       Em                  B 
Tiny axes repeatedly raising the flag 
       C             G              F 
All ignored, real emotion's such a drag
[Strophe]
 C                Am            F            Am 
Hey, I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart 
        C                    Am                      F 
And on dark nights when the moon is right, I could show you 
     G                    Em 
The head attached with a scarf 
             D           Em                B 
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates 
           C            G            F 
When it's gone, has it gone all the way?
[Outro]
      C               G           F          C 
This time, found a whistle that works every time 
  C                G           F 
Yeah, I found a whistle that works 
  E                       C 
Hangs like a charm on my neck 
           G           F          C 
Found a whistle that works every time 
 C                G           F 
Yeah, I found a whistle that works 
  E                    F 
Closes my mind every time 
                 G 
A whistle, I've got it 
                  C 
I've got it this time
