Tradewinds
Words & Music by John Denver
from I Want To Live (1977)
C
Riding on a tradewind,
F
Filling my sails with a soft and southerly breeze.
C
Living on the ocean of blue.
Dreaming of the islands,
F
Wrapping myself in a glow of the tropical moon.
C
I never shiver when the sun goes down.
G
All the earth she sings to me.
Every shallow, every tree.
C
Surely My love shining like the sea.
C
I can make you happy.
F
If I can I'll take you away on a wave in my arms.
C
Never leave you on the edge all alone.
If you feel like dancing,
F
Rolling like the water across my sleepless night,
C
Making me a peaceful place.
G
All my life to be with you,
All I ever want to do,
C
Knowing you are felling that way too ooo.
C F C
Hmmmmm.
C F C
Hmmm.
G
Distant thunder, heavy seas,
Rocky Mountain memories.
C
Surely I was lost 'til I found these, Yeah, hmmm.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
