Standard (EADGBE)

  That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug

  Upon the string that held the line of trees

  Behind the house he lived in

  He was reared to give respect

  But somewhere down the line he chose

  To whistle as the wind blows

  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

 There wasn't even time to say

 Goodbye to Wendell Gee

 So whistle as the wind blows

  (second time through, play )

Whistle as the wind blows, with me

 If the wind were colors

 And if the air could speak

 Then whistle as the wind blows

 Whistle as the wind blows
