I WHISTLE A HAPPY TUNE
By: Rogers & Hammerstein
From: “The King & I
Key: C

3     2 -2 3   3  3   3
When-ev-er I feel a-fraid
3  -2  3   -3 -3  -3
I hold my head e-rect
-3   -4   4 -5 -5  -5  -5
And whis-tle a hap-py tune
-5* 6  5    3   2   3
So no one will sus-pect 
-3 -2   2
I'm a-fraid. 

3       2  -2  3  3  3    3
While shiv-er-ing in my shoes 
3   -2   3  -3   -3   -3
I strike a care-less pose 
-3   -4   4 -5 -5  -5  -5
And whis-tle a hap-py tune 
-5* 6   5   3  2   3   -3 -5  5
And no one ev-er knows I'm a-fraid. 

5   -4  4   4   4    4 -4   4
The re-sult of this de-cep-tion 
4   4  4    4    4-4  4
Is ver-y strange to tell 
4    -5 -5  -5  -5  -5  -5
For when I fool the peo-ple 
-5 -5 -5*  6 -2* -2* -2*  -3
I fear I fool my-self as well! 

3   2  -2  3  3   3   3
I whis-tle a hap-py tune 
3   -2  3  -3  -3   -3
And ev-'ry sin-gle time 
-3  -4  4   -5  -5 -5   -5
The hap-pi-ness in the tune 
-5*   6  5   3  2    3   6 -5   5
Con-vinc-es me that I'm not a-fraid. 

REPEAT

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
