The version above in letter notes is worked out
for the D whistle. I have marked the ''low E'' in Green just to let you know as there are 2 E notes in the song. All the others
are high ones. The sheet music is in the key of Bb and this key is not normally used by whistle players. The letter version
is just one step above the sheet and is easier to play.
