Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Tha[C]t's when Wendell Gee[Dm]
Takes a tug [G]upon the string
[Dm]That [G]held the line of [C]trees
Behind the house he lived [Dm]in
He was [G]reared to give re[Dm]spect
[G]But somewhere down the line, he chose

[Verse 2]
[F]To whistle as the wind [C]blows
[Em](gonna miss [F]you, boy)
And whistle as [C]the wind [G]blows through
the leaves (gonna miss you, boy)

[Verse 3]
[C]He had a dream [F]one [Dm]night
That the [G]tree had lost its [Dm]middle
So he [G]built a trunk of chicken [C]wire
To try to hold it [Dm]up
But the [G]wire, the [Dm]wire turned
to liz[G]ard skin
And when he [F]climbed inside

[Verse 4]
There wasn't even [C]time [Em]to say[F]
(gonna miss you, boy)
Goodbye to Wendell [C]Gee[G][F]
(gonna miss you, boy)
So whistle as [C]the wind blows (gonna miss you,
[Em]boy)[F]
Whistle as [C]the wind [G]blows [C]with me[Dm][G][Dm][G][C]
[Dm](gon[G]na m[Dm]iss[G]
[F]you, boy)

[Verse 5]
There wasn't even [C]time [Em]to say[F]
(gonna miss you, boy)
Goodbye to Wendell [C]Gee
[G](gonna miss you, boy)
[F]So whistle as [C]the wind [Em]blows[F] (gonna miss you,
boy)
And listen as [C]the wind [G]blows through the
[F]leaves (gonna miss you, boy)

[Verse 6]
If the wind were color[C]s (gonna miss you,
[Em]boy)[F]
And if the air could speak (gonna mis
[C]s y[G]ou,[F] boy)
Then whistle as [C]the wind [Em]blows (gonna miss you,
[F]boy)
And whistle as the wind blows
[C](gonna mis[G]s you, boy)
