Johnny Come Lately

Whistle
1

Im not real handy with the whistle at the moment so I was wondering if someone could tab out the whistle part in Johnny Come Lately from Steve Earle. It doesn’t sound very hard and Im sure someone thats been tooting a whistle for awhile knows a thing or two, about a thing or two and could tab it out in about 1 minute. If someone will tab it out I’ll post a video of my band playing the song and Ill even dedicate it to ChiffandFipple.com!!!

Heres the youtube link. the whistle part that I need starts around 1:05 in the video.
