C                    Dm
That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug
  G
Upon the string that held the line of trees
C                    Dm
Behind the house he lived in
         G
He was reared to give respect
                                 F
But somewhere down the line he chose

Chorus:
                   C    Em  F
So whistle as the wind blows
                C     G          C
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try to hold it up
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
And when he climbed inside...

Chorus:
There wasn't even time to say
(Gonna miss you, boy)
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
(Gonna miss you, boy)
So whistle as the wind blows
(Gonna miss you, boy)
Whistle as the wind blows did he
(Gonna miss you, boy)

There wasn't even time to say
(Gonna miss you, boy)
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
(Gonna miss you, boy)
So whistle as the wind blows
(Gonna miss you, boy)
And listen as the wind blows did he
(Gonna miss you, boy)

If the wind were colors
(Gonna miss you, boy)
And if the air could speak
(Gonna miss you, boy)
Then whistle as the wind blows
(Gonna miss you, boy)
And whistle as the wind blows
(Gonna miss you, boy)
