     Gm          F            Dm          C 
I'll buy you six bay mares to put in your stable 
Gm         Dm     F              C 
six golden apples bought with my pay. 
  Gm           F     Dm            C 
I am the first piper who calls the sweet tune, 
    Gm        Dm          F       C     A 
but I must be gone by the seventh day. 

        E   G       D         A 
So come on, I'm the whistler. 
         E          G            D     A 
I have a fife and a drum to play. 
    E    G        D         F#m 
Get ready for the whistler. 
            D          E           F#m

All kinds of sadness I've left behind me. 
Gm         Dm       F           C 
Many's the day when I have done wrong. 
Gm          F         Dm       C 
But I'll be yours for ever and ever. 
Gm           Dm         F         C     A 
Climb in the saddle and whistle along. 

        E   G       D         A

Deep red are the sunsets in mystical places. 
Gm            Dm        F         C 
Black are the nights on summerday sands. 
Gm             F        Dm            C 
We'll find the speck of truth in each riddle. 
Gm             Dm       F           C       A 
Hold the first grain of love in our hands.
