WENDELL GEE


 C                    Dm
 That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug
   G         G7         Em               G
 Upon the string that held the line of trees
 C                    Dm
 Behind the house he lived in
           G             G7
 He was reared to give respect
       Em                 G        F
 But somewhere down the line he chose
                     C Em F
 To whistle as the wind  blows
  F              C      G           C
 Whistle as the wind   blows, with me

{same as before}
He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try to hold it up
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
And when he climbed inside

 F                  C        Em     F
There wasn't even time to say
 F                  C        G      F
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
                  C    Em     F
So whistle as the wind blows
               C    G            C  (second time through, play F)
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

                  C      Em      F
If the wind were colors
                     C     G   F
And if the air could speak
                      C      Em  F
Then whistle as the wind blows
                C     G     C
Whistle as the wind blows
