The Trader

D                           
Trader sailed a jeweled crown 
  A                F#m7
humanity rowed the way
G            G/F#.        Em    
Exploring to command more land, 
D               Em      F#m
scheming how to rule the waves.
D                             
Trader spied a virgin plain and 
  A                   F#m
named it for velvet robes
G                    G/F#      
Wrote home declaring there's a 
Em          D       Em        F#m
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.          
And fish abound the lakes and 
              D         A   D
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.

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.

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

Reason to live
D/C       C
