Lyrics

(D)Whis tle down the wind,

(Dsus2)let your voic es (D)car ry.

(A)Drown out all the rain,

light a patch of dark ness, (D)treach er ous and scar y.

(D6)Howl at the (D)stars,

whis per when you’re (D)sleep ing.

(A7)I’ll be there to hold you, I’ll be there to stop the (Dsus2)chills and all the (D)weep ing.

Make it (G)clear

and strong

so the (Em7)whole

night (D)long

ev ’ry (F#m)sig nal that you send, un (G)til the ver y end, (D)I will not a (Bm7)ban don (Em)you, my pre cious (A)friend.

So (Dsus2)try and stem the (D)tide,

(Dsus2)then you’ll raise a (D)ban ner,

send a (A)flare up in the sky,

try to burn a torch and (D6)try to build a (D)bon fire.

Ev ’ry (Em)sig nal that you send, un (A7)til the ver y end, I’m (D)there.

So (A7)whis tle down the wind, for I have al ways been (D)right here.

Make it (G)clear

and

strong

so the (Em7)whole

night

(D)long

ev ’ry (F#m)sig nal that you send, un (G)til the ver y end,

(D)I will not a (Bm7)ban don (Em)you, my pre cious (A)friend.

So (Dsus2)try and stem the (D)tide,

(Dsus2)then you’ll raise a (D)ban ner,

send a (A)flare up in the sky,

try to burn a torch and (D6)try to build a (D)bon fire.

Ev ’ry (Em)sig nal that you send, un (A7)til the ver y end, I’m (D)there.

So (A7)whis tle down the wind, for I have al ways been (D)right here.

Make it (A)whis tle down the wind, for I have al ways been right (D)there.
