The whistle solo is tabbed out at the bottom.

[B] [F#] [E] [F#]
I [B]got out of [F#]bed and came [E]here for ad[F#]venture.
I [B]stepped on a [F#]stone on the [E]way.[F#]
I [B7]took off my [E]shoe and a [D#m]dog came to[G#m]wards me
[E]wagging his [F#]tail happi[B]ly.[B7]

[E]Dog, if you could [F#]speak, you'd [B]know what to do.
[E]Simply turn [F#]around and [B]run.
[E]Dog, if you could [F#]speak, you [D#m]bury your [G#m]bone
and you [E]show me the [F#]way back [B]home.

[B]Got out of [F#]bed, and I [E]put on my [F#]sun suit.
[B]Blue checky [F#]shirt and a [E]dress.[F#]
[B7]Nothing was [E]left for a [D#m]girl in pa[G#m]jamas.
No [E]breakfast, no [F#]kindness, no [B]cake.[B7]

[E]Girl, if you could [F#]speak, you?d [B]know what to do
[E]Ages left a [F#]gift with [B]you[B7]
[E]Rent a cheap [F#]second-hand [D#m]crystal [G#m]ball
I will [E]trust my [F#]future to [B]you

(w h i s t l e s)
[C#m] [D#m] [E] [B] [C#m] [D#m] [E] [B]

I [B]got out of [F#]bed when the [E]springs wouldn?t [F#]have me
They [B]fired me [F#]up like a [E]gun[F#]
Fell [B7]into my [E]suit and I [D#m]walked to [G#m]breakfast
[E]Green leafs and [F#]blue sky and [B]sun[B7]

[E]Boy, if you could [F#]speak, you?d [B]know what to do
You?d [E]sit and let the [F#]world go [B]round[B7]
Re[E]member all you [F#]saw and [D#m]tell it [G#m]back
In the [E]stories when the [F#]day is [B]done

Re[E]member all you [F#]saw and [D#m]tell it [G#m]back
In the [E]stories when the [F#]day is [B]done
