(D)Whis tle down the wind,

(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

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.
