Intro: C A* D*
G C/G D G
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
C D D*
All those things that don't change come what may
G C/G D G
Now our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
C Em D D*
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
G C/G D G
Guess I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall
C D D*
Got some friends that I can go to working for
G C/G D G
Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time
C Em D D*
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
G C/G D G
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
C D D*
All those things that don't change come what may
G C/G D G
Now our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
C Em D D*
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
G C/G D G
If I get there before the snowflies, and if things are going good
C D D*
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
G C/G D G
But by then it would be winter, nothing much for you to do
C Em D D*
And the wind sure blows cold way out there
G C/G D G
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
C D D*
All those things that don't change come what may
G C/G D G
Now our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
C Em D D*
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
G C/G D G
Yes our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
C Em D D*
But I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
