C              Am           F            Am
Hey I found a whistle that hangs like a charm
C            Am                     F          G
And when my noose is tied I could blow it and fall
down into your
Em             D            Em              B7
Arms. fifteen centuries of dissolution and grief
      C              G               F
to return a yellow trickster and a thief

Hey, I found a whistle that works every time
That's when the trail escapes to nowhere
And the flood erases the crime
Such conviction, to paint all the walls
with the blood
Of the young and the faithful and the good

Yeah, I found a whistle as thin as a sheet
To split the dumbness of a vision
Between a sleep and asleep
Tiny axes repeatedly raising the flag
All ignored, real emotion's such a drag

Hey, I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart
And on dark nights when the moon is right,
I could show you
The head attached with a scarf
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
When it's gone, has it gone all the way?

      C               G           F           C
This time I found a whistle that works every time
 C               G           F      E7
Yeah I found a whistle that works, hangs like
a charm
 C              G           F           C
yeah  found a whistle that works every time
 C               G           F      E7
Yeah I found a whistle that works, closes
               F
my eyes every time
    F            G                        C
A whistle, I forgot it, I forgot it this time
