A Message From The Trade Winds chords by Hank Snow

G                                               C        G
The lights were burning low and Mister Midnight made his way

    D7                                             G
Old Father Time had trudged along to close another day

                                                     C       G
The old clock ticked and seemed to say your heart is sad and blue

         A7           D7                    G
But just remember pal there's others broken too


  C
I told the moon it was so hard to play love's losing hand

         G                                 A7                D7
When you thought you drew a sweetheart she was just a fickle friend

      G                                              C         G
Don't mind my tears remember there's still a million hearts in bloom

           A7                 D7             G
So keep on shining though I'm pining silvery moon


                                              C          G
The trade winds brought a message in from far across the sea

     D7                                                   G
They said they saw the silver sails that carried you from me

                                          C       G
They told me you were drifting on upon an endless tide

           A7               D7              G
And lonely seagulls hovered o'er you as you cried


   C
If I could send a message on the crest of every wave

       G                           A7                     D7
They'd take you my forgiveness and two broken hearts we'd save

    G                                               C         G
But instead I'll ask each little star to guide your ship back home

           A7                 D7             G
