              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.
