[Verse]

F                   A7
Hear the whistling song
            Bb          Db
Carry the hills rolling along
        F           Dm
I would whistle the chant
  G          Bb           F     Bb  F  C
I would if I could but I can't

        F                   A7
And the wind is taking the song
               Bb               Db
Up through the trees singing it wrong
         F            Dm
It would whistle the chant
    G           Bb           F  Bb   F  G A
It would if it could, but it can't

[Bridge]

Bb                        F
Everybody's singing their own song
Bb                        F    G A
Everybody's got their own plan
Bb                             Dm
Some it seems are marching on time wrong
        G                       C
They're only hearing some other drum

[Verse]

       F
So you see
              A7
Life's just a card
            Bb
You play it right
                Db
Or you play it hard
       F        Dm
It's a personal slant
  G          Bb           F      Bb  F  C
I would if I could, but I can't

Everybody's got their own plan
Bb                            Dm
Some it seems are marching on time wrong
         G                      C
They're only hearing some other drum

  G          Bb           F   Dm
I would if I could, but I can't
  G          Bb           F
I would if I could, but I can't
