 A    Cdim        D9      Bm7-5    A          D9   E   
Mister en -gin - eer, when you get go - in',

 A       Edim      Fdim      Bm7-5        A    A7
I'll make one re - quest you can't re - fuse,

Let that whis - tle whist - le me some blues.


A       Cdim        D9       Bm7-5      A          D9   E   
When my fall - in' tears start o - ver flow - in'

A        Edim       Fdim   Bm7-5     A    A7
They may reach from here to Ver - a Cruz,

D9                 D6         Dm7        A
When my bro - ken heart can't keep from show - in',

When those wheels start turn - in' down that  one    way track,

Bm      F#m     E7/9      D9      Bm7-5       E
My love promised me she's nev - er com - in' back.

She's the one thing I can't stand to lose;

D9                      D6          Dm7     A
When she leaves there's noth - in' left but dy - in',

    A          F#m         D9       Bm7-5      A
So whis - tle, whis - tle, whis - tle me some blues.

 A          F#m          D9       Bm7-5      A
Whis - tle, whis - tle, whis - tle me some blues.

 A         C#m7-5       E7/9      Cdim       A
Whis - tle, whis - tle, whis - tle me some blues..


*Suggested by Allen Meiselbach, who also provided an audio source. Those of you familiar with this site know of my dislike for missing or incomplete authorship attributions on these charts; in the case of this song (for which I've found only two releases) I have found nothing beyond the four last names shown here. Any assistance you can provide regarding full names would be much appreciated.
