A    E°  C°  E7    D9   E7     D9  C°  E7 
Down where  the trade winds play 
E7    D9  Bm5-/7 C° E7 A   D   Bm5-/7 A 
Down where you  lose a day 
A   E° Bm5-/7 D9   E7    A    F#m C#m5-/7 F#7 
We found  a    new world where  paradise starts     
B7  C°    E7    D9    E7  C°       Bm5-/7   E7   A 
We traded hearts way down where the trade winds play 
A  E° C° E7 Bm5-/7  E7 D9 C° E7 
Music   was   ev    where  
 E7 D9  Bm5-/7 C°  E7 A 
Flowers were   in  her hair 
A   E° Bm5-/7 D9   E7 A F#m C#m5-/7 F#7 
Under   an   awning      of silvery   boughs 
B7  C°  A7    D9    E7  C°      Bm5-/7   E7 A 
We traded  vows  the night that I  sailed  away 
A7   D   Dmaj7    D6  D9      Dm6        A      D9     A A7 
Oh, trade winds,    what are vows that lovers make 
A7   D   Dmaj7    D6  D9      Dm6   A     D9    A A7 
Oh, trade winds,    are they only made to break 
A   E° C°  E7 Bm5-/7 E7 D9 C° E7 
When  it   is   May    again  
 E7   D9  Bm5-/7 C° E7 A D Bm5-/7 A 
I'll sail       away     again 
A   E° Bm5-/7 D9   E7 A F#m C#m5-/7 F#7 
Though I'm re - turn - ing   it won't be  the  same  
B7       C°  A7       D9      E7  C°      Bm5-/7   E7   A 
She traded her name way down where the trade winds play 
F     F°  A     D9  A   E°   E  Bm5-/7  E7/13 F°  D9  Bm5-/7 A 
Blow,     trade winds;         blow               away
