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

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

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,

About “Whistle Down The Wind”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Whistle Down The Wind"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Whistle Down The Wind" by Andrew Lloyd Webber played in?
Whistle Down The Wind is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Whistle Down The Wind" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 100 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
