The whistle solo is tabbed out at the bottom.

B F# E F#
B F# E F#
I got out of bed and came here for adventure.
B F# E F#
I stepped on a stone on the way.
B7 E D#m G#m

I took off my shoe and a dog came towards me
E F# B B7
wagging his tail happily.

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

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

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

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


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

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

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