Jerusalem (the tune!)

Whistle
1

Hi all

I was trying to pick this tune out on the whistle from memory, and I cant get it quite right…

Maybe I cant decide which key I am playing in - I think there may be more than one possible starting point on the whistle, and I am muddling them up.

I have done a (rather poor) ABC, below. Would anyone be so kind as to correct me? Or point me to where I might find better?

And apologies if this has been covered, but searching for Jerusalem took me off to other forum discussions that looked far too controversial for me.

X:1
T:Jerusalem (sort of…)
M:4/4
L:1/8
K:D

Here’s a link to a version in D.

Remember to use the correct lyrics (best if sung along with 30 or 40 thousand of your best mates).

And did those boots of Wenger’s team
Trod upon Highbury’s turf so green.
And did they play, with great esteem,
The best football we’ve ever seen.

And with a cannon on our chest,
We play with heart and mind and zest,
And we are proud to be Arsenal;
In victory through harmony.

On Brass Monkey’s latest, Going & Staying, they do a lovely version of Blake’s words set to the English Country Dance melody best known as The Friar in the Well, if my ears don’t deceive me. They rock about as hard as any band featuring an alto sackbut has ever rocked.
