The Trader (Carl Wilson/Jack Rieley)
Album: Holland
Part 1:
Verse:
D A F#m7
Trader sailed a jeweled crown humanity rowed the way
G G/F#. Em D Em F#m
Exploring to command more land, scheming how to rule the waves.
D A F#m
Trader spied a virgin plain and named it for velvet robes
G G/F# Em D Em F#m
Wrote home declaring there's a place where totally folks are free
D/A A/C# G/D
Nourishment fills the prairies and the hillsides
D/A A/C# G/D
And animals stalk the mountains and the seaside
D/A A/C# G/D. D A D
And fish abound the lakes and birds the skies, signed sincerely.
Verse:
Trader found the jeweled land was occupied before he came
By humans of a second look who couldn't even write their names shame
Trader said they're not as good as folks who wear velvet robes
Wrote home again and asked, "Please help, their breasts I see; they're not like me
Chorus:
Banish them from our prairies and our hillsides
Clear them from our mountains and our seaside
I want them off our lakes so please reply, signed sincerely.
Verse:
Trader he got the crown okay, cleared humanity from his way
He civilized all he saw making changes every single day, say
Chorus:
Shops sprang over the prairies and the hillsides
Then roads cut through the mountains to the seaside
The other kind fled to hide, by and by, and so sincerely
G
cried.
Part 2:
G/D F/C C F/C C G/B C
Making it softly, like the evening sea, trying to be
C/A G
Making it go.
C/A G/B F/C C F/C C G/B C
Creating it gently, like a morning breeze, a life of ease
G/B C C/A D/E D C D/E D C
Eyes that see beyond tomorrow, through to the time without hours
D/E D C C/A G
Passing the Eden of Flowers, reason to live.
G/D F/C C F/C C G/B C
Embracing together, like the merging streams, crying dreams
C/A G
Making it full
C/A G/B F/C C F/C C G/B C
Begging intently, for a slight reprieve, a night of ease
G/B C C/A D/E D C D/E D C
Hands to touch beyond the sorrow, on to the force without power
D/E D C C/A G
Piercing the crust of the tower, reason to live.
D/E D C D/E D C D/E D C C/A G C/A G/B
Hoping, like a budding rose, humbling shows
Making it
Struggling lonely, like a desert field, break the seal, make it real
Ears to hear, beyond the showers, on to the suns of tomorrows
Burning the flesh of all sorrows,
D/C C
reason to live
D/C C
Reason to continue
D/C C
Reason to go on
D/C C
Reason to live
D/C C
Reason to live
D/C C
Reason to live
