Chords for Shane Nicholson - Whistling Cannonballs (feat. Paul Kelly) - Official Video

_ Alright.
_ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's pictures of her mother on the wall
_ _ _ When she speaks she don't look at [F#] me at all
_ _ _ _ She likes to check the time now [C#] and then
_ _ _ _ [G#] And I start whistling _ _ cannonballs [C#]
again
_ _ _ _ Her old man sleeps till dark every day
_ _ _ Then she cleans and puts the ashtrays [F#] away _
_ I _ _ think that I could make her my [A#m] _ friend
_ _ _ _ [F#] But I've been whistling _ _ cannonballs [C#] again _ _
_ _ _ _ As she pulls her skirt [C#] above her knees _
_ I'm thinking [G#] bad things always come [C#] in threes _ _
_ So it [F#] finished _ [F#]
right where it [C#] _ began
_ [F#] _
_ _ And I went whistling [G#] _
_ cannonballs [C#] again _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] Fragile like a teacup in a storm _ _ _
Sweet and tender like a nurse in [F#] uniform _ _ _ _ _
But every time I hear a [C#] violin _ _ _ _ _
Then I start whistling _ cannonballs [C#] again
_ _ _ _ So she curled up like a cat in the chair
_ _ _ With her fingers drawing _ circles in [F#] the _ air
_ _ _ Stared me down and said let's not [A#m] pretend
_ _ _ _ That you weren't whistling _ cannonballs _ [C#] again
_ _ _ _ Then [F#] without a breath she made it pretty [C#] clear _
_ _ That I should [G#] close the door and [C#] disappear _ _
_ _ _ [F#] It's been so long I don't [C#] remember _ _ [F#] when
_ _ I started whistling _ cannonballs [C#] again _ _ _
_ _ It's [F#] been so long [G#] I don't _ [C#] remember _ _ [F#] when
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
started whistling _ _ cannonballs [C#]
again _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
