Trade Winds
Words & Music by Cliff Friend & Charles Tobias
Recorded by Bing Crosby, 1940 (#1)
A Edim Cdim E7 D9 E7 D9 Cdim E7
Down where the trade winds play
E7 D9 Bm7-5 Cdim E7 A D Bm7-5 A
Down where you lose a day
A Edim Bm7-5 D9 E7 A F#m C#m7-5 F#7
We found a new world where par - a - dise starts
B7 Cdim E7 D9 E7 Cdim Bm7-5 E7 A
We traded hearts way down where the trade winds play
A Edim Cdim E7 Bm7-5 E7 D9 Cdim E7
Mu - sic was ev' - ry where,
E7 D9 Bm7-5 Cdim E7 A
Flow - ers were in her hair;
A Edim Bm7-5 D9 E7 A F#m C#m7-5 F#7
Un - der an awn - ing of sil - ver - y boughs
B7 Cdim B7 E7 D9 E7 Cdim Bm7-5 E7 A
We tra - ded vows the night that I sailed a - way.
A7 Dalt D D6 D9 Dm6 A D9 A A7
Oh, trade winds, what are vows that lovers make?
A7 Dalt D D6 D9 Dm6 A Edim E7
Oh, trade winds, are they only made to break?
A Edim Cdim E7 Bm7-5 E7 D9 Cdim E7
When it is May a - gain,
E7 D9 Bm7-5 Cdim E7 A D Bm7-5 A
I'll sail a - way a - gain,
A Edim Bm7-5 D9 E7 A F#m C#m7-5 F#7
Though I'm re - turn - ing it won't be the same --
B7 Cdim B7 E7 D9 E7 Cdim Bm7-5 E7 A F9 A A7
She traded her name way down where the trade winds play.
F Fdim A D9 A Edim E Bm7-5 E7/6 Fdim D9 Bm7-5 A
Blow, trade winds; blow a - way.
*Suggested by visitor Kuniaki Kondo. This version relies more on a Mills Brothers' version than it does on Crosby's, but I was not able to determine when they recorded theirs, and Crosby's no doubt ranked higher in the charts.
