The Whistle Is Blowing
Performed by Marcus Mumford. Standard tuning on acoustic. This is how I play it and
it sounds good.
C/GThe whistle is Eblowing, and the Amtrain Am/Gis goF/Cing
C/GJust what's gonna happen next, well, I'm Gnot one to Csay
C/GI'm sitting here Eyearning while those Amwheels Am/Gkeep tuF/Crning
C/G"I'll be gonGe by tonight," shCe told me today
C/GAnd next door to the Ecornstalk by the Amside oAm/Gf this sheet F/Crock
C/GI will wait for the Gmorning like a dog in the Cmoon
F/CBlow, blow Con
F/CBlow, blow Con
C/GOh the minutes go Eslow now, and I Amhope it Am/Gdon't snow F/Cnow
C/G'Cause it's quiet and Gstill and that train's out of Csight
C/GAll we need is a fat Estorm to Amblow Am/Gby the F/Cplatform
C/GOh dear me, that Gwoman, that woman's always Cright
F/CBlow, blow Con
