WHISTLING CANNONBALLS SHANE NICHOLSON / PAUL KELLY
CAPO 1st Fret
C
VERSE 1:
C
THERE’S PICTURES OF HER MOTHER ON THE WALL
F
AND WHEN SHE SPEAKS, SHE DON’T LOOK AT ME AT ALL
F C
SHE LIKES TO CHECK THE TIME NOW AND THEN
G C
AND I START WHISTLING CANNONBALLS AGAIN
VERSE 2:
C
HER OLD MAN SLEEPS TILL DARK EVERY DAY
F
THEN SHE CLEANS AND PUTS THE ASHTRAYS AWAY
F Am
I THINK THAT I COULD MAKE HER MY FRIEND
G C
BUT I’VE BEEN WHISTLING CANNONBALLS AGAIN
CHORUS:
F C
AND AS SHE PULLS HER SKIRT ABOVE HER KNEES
G C
I’M THINKING BAD THINGS ALWAYS COME IN THREES
F C F
AND SO IT FINISHED RIGHT WHERE IT BEGAN
F G C
AND I WENT WHISTLING CANNONBALLS AGAIN
VERSE 1:
C
FRAGILE LIKE A TEACUP IN A STORM
F
SWEET AND TENDER LIKE A NURSE IN UNIFORM
F C
BUT EVERY TIME I HERE A VIOLIN
G C
THEN I START WHISTLING CANNONBALLS AGAIN
VERSE 2:
C
SO SHE CURLED UP LIKE A CAT IN THE CHAIR
F
WITH HER FINGERS DRAWING CIRCLES IN THE AIR
F Am
STARED ME DOWN AND SAID “LETS NOT PRETEND
G C
THAT YOU WEREN’T WHISTLING CANNONBALLS AGAIN
CHORUS:
F C
AND WITHOUT A BREATH SHE MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR
G C
THAT I SHOULD CLOSE THE DOOR AND DISAPPEAR
F C F
IT’S BEEN SO LONG I DON’T REMEMBER WHEN
F G C
I STARTED WHISTLING CANNONBALLS AGAIN
F C F
IT’S BEEN SO LONG I DON’T REMEMBER WHEN
F G C
WE STARTED WHISTLING CANNONBALLS AGAIN
