Hi, I'd like to have the chords to this ballad Taylor sang on his album "Dad Loves His Work". If someone could post them it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dan.

The Sugar Trade

Back when this earth was a silver-blue jewel Back when my grandfather's father was young Men of this trade made and gave up their lives Pulling up fish from the sea...

Now if I could only get the chords.

I don't know if these are the official chords or ones I made up - they're fairly simple but they work. The song is in 3/4 time, I'll use "/" to delineate measures, "//" means repeat same chord.

verse 1 (back when this earth...) A/D/G/A//D/G/A/F#m/B/E/A/F#m/B/E// verse 2 (down in the African..) A//G//A//G//A/G/D/A//G/D/A verse 3 (oh the crown...) same as verse 2 verse 4 (dory man he knows..) same as verse 1 verse 5 (it's the same...) same as verse 2 verse 6 repeat first verse but end with G/F/E/A

By the way, Jimmy Buffet collaborated with James on this song - now there's a great combination!!!
