Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][Cm][G]

[Verse 1]
Here I stand [G]looking,
looking around [Am]me
While all around me,
[Dsus4]what do I see[D][Dsus4][G]
Unhappy [B]faces behind
a painted [Em]smile
Heartache and [G]loneliness dressed up
in modern [C]style
Unhappy [Cm]people living in
[C]sin and [G]shame
Reflections of myself,
[Dsus4]life is no eas[D]y game[Bm][Em]
And we're caught in [Am]the trade
[Dsus4]winds
[D]The trade [Dsus4]winds of [D]our
[G]time

[Interlude 1]
[G][A][Adim][Cm][G]

[Verse 2]
Here I [G]stand looking,
looking around [Am]me
While all around me,
[Dsus4]what do I see (youn[G]g girls who'll soon become)
Young girls who'll soon [B]become
(walkers of the avenue)
Streetwalkers in the [Em]night (young boys
of the neighborhood)
Young boys, the restless [G]breed (tell me
what they're looking for)
Looking for a fight [C](children who
are rich and poor)
Children both rich and [Cm]poor
They're searching for the [G]truth
And if [Dsus4]they don'[G]t find[D] it[Dsus4]
God help [C]to [Bm]mor row's [Em]youth
We're [Am]caught in the
trade [C]winds[Dsus4]
The [D]trade winds [G]of our [A]time [Cm](the trade winds,
trade winds of [G]our [C]tim[G]e)

[Verse 3]
Trade [G]winds are blowing,
blowing around [Am]me
And while all around me,
[Dsus4]what do I see (hatr[G]ed and jealousy)
Hatred and [B]jealousy (brotherhood is
dying out)
Brotherhood is [Em]dying (love is
what we really need)
Love is the [G]answer
Nobody's [C]buying
Good people turning [Cm]bad
Some don't but they are [G]few
The winds are blowing
[Dsus4]The choice is up[D]
[Bm]to you[Em]
We're [Am]caught in the
trade [C]winds[Dsus4]
The [C]trade [Dsus4]winds of [G]our time (ah ah ah)
[A]

[Interlude 2]
[Adim][Cm][Adim][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Yes, we're caught [G]up [A]in the
trade [Cm]winds
The trade winds of [G]our time
And we're [A]riding on the
trade [Cm]winds
The trade [Adim]wind s o[Cm]f ou[G]r time
We're caught up,
[A]caught up in the trade winds[Adim][Cm]
[Adim]The trade winds [Cm]of o[G]ur time
We are riding,
[A]riding on the trade win[Adim]d s[Cm]
Trade winds [G]of our time
Yes, we're caught up,
[A]caught up in the trade winds[Adim][Cm]
[Adim]The trade [Cm]wind[G]s of our time
And we're riding,
[A]riding on the trade winds[Adim]
Trade winds [G]of our time
We [A]are riding, yes we're riding
[Cm]Trade winds of o[G]ur time
And we're caught up,
[A]caught up in the[A] trade winds
Trade winds of our time
