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.
