[Chorus]
[G] C [G] F [C] G [F] C
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high,
[G] C [G] F [C] G G
all those things that don't change, come what may.
C F [C] G [F] C
But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on.
F C [F] G G
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
[Verse 1]
C F G C
Think I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the Fall.
C F G G
Got some friends that I can go to workin' for.
C F G C
Yet I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time,
F C G G
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.
[Chorus]
[G] C [G] F [C] G [F] C
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high,
[G] C [G] F [C] G G
all those things that don't change, come what may.

[Verse 2]
C F G C
If I get there 'fore the snow flies, And if things are looking good,
C F G G
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare.
C F G C
But by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do
F C G G
And the wind sure blows cold way out there.
[Chorus]

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high,
[G] C [G] F [C] G G
all those things that don't change, come what may.
C F [C] G [F] C
But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on.

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
