[F#m] [G]
[D] Here
[G] [D] I stand looking, looking around me, [Em] while all [G] around [Em] me, what do I see?
behind the painted [Bm] smiles, heartache and loneliness, [D] dressed up in modern [G] style.
Unhappy people, [Gm] living in sin and [D] shame, reflections of [G] myself, life is no [Gm] [F#m] easy game, [Bm] and we're
trade winds, [G] the trade winds of [D] our time.
[Gm]
[D] Here I stand looking, looking around me, [Em] while all around me, [G] what do I see?

_ _ [D] _ Here _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] I stand looking, _ _ looking around me, [Em] _ while all [G] around [Em] me, what do I see?
[D] _ _ Unhappy faces, [F#] _
behind the painted _ [Bm] smiles, heartache and loneliness, [D] dressed up in modern [G] style.
_ Unhappy people, _ [Gm] _ living in sin and [D] shame, reflections of [G] myself, life is no [Gm] _ [F#m] easy _ game, _ [Bm] _ and we're
caught in [Em] the trade winds, _ _ [G] the trade winds of [D] our _ time.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Here I stand looking, _ looking around me, [Em] while all around me, [G] what do I see?
[D] Young girls who soon [G]
[F#] become street walkers in the night, [Bm] young boys, restless, free,
[D] _ looking for a fight.
[G] _ Children, both rich and poor, [Gm] they're searching for the truth, [D] and if they don't find it,
[A] God help _ _ [F#m] tomorrow's youth.
_ [Bm] _ _ We're caught [Em] in the trade _ winds, _ [G] _
the trade winds of [D] our time. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] The _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ trade winds are blowing, _ _ blowing around me, [G] _ while all [D] around [G] me, what do I see?
[D] Hatred and jealousy, _ [F#] _ brotherhood is dying, _ [Bm] love is the answer, _ [D] but nobody's buying.
[G] Good people are turning bad, [Gm] some don't, but they are few.
[D] The winds are blowing, [Bm] _ and the [Em] choice is [F#m] up to you.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
_ We're [Em] caught in the trade winds, _
_ [G] the trade [D] winds of our _ time.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ Trade [D] winds of our time.
_ Yes, we're caught in the trade winds, [E] _ trade winds of our [Gm] time.
Riding on the trade winds [D] of our time. _ _
We are caught up in the trade [E] winds, _ riding on the trade [Gm] winds, caught up in the trade
winds [D] of our _ _ time. _
Spring _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
winds [Gm] caught up in the dream winds [D] of our time.
_ We are. _ _
_ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
