Trader sailed a jeweled crown humanity rowed the way
GG/F#. EmDEmF#m
Exploring to command more land, scheming how to rule the waves.
DAF#m
Trader spied a virgin plain and named it for velvet robes
GG/F#EmDEmF#m
Wrote home declaring there's a place where totally folks are free
D/AA/C#G/D
Nourishment fills the prairies and the hillsides
D/AA/C#G/D
And animals stalk the mountains and the seaside
D/AA/C#G/D. DAD
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.

Begging intently, for a slight reprieve, a night of ease

Piercing the crust of the tower, reason to live.
D/EDCD/EDCD/EDCC/AGC/AG/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,

Reason to continue
