D F#m E7                   
     (last line of verse)  
   
            A               D        
Four strong winds that blow lonely,  
      E7            A     
seven seas that run high  
                            D                E7   
All those things that don't change come what may  
        A                  Bm     
Now our good times are all gone,  
        E7               A   
and I'm bound for moving on  
          D              F#m            E7    
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.  
   
           A           D       
Guess I'll go out to Alberta,  
          E7                A     
weather's good there in the fall  
                            D             E7   
Got some friends that I can go to working for  
        A                       Bm     
Still I wish you'd  change your mind,  
     E7                 A     
if I asked you one more time  
          D                   F#m              E7    
But we've been through that a hundred times or more  
   
            A               D             E7            A     
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high  
                            D                E7   
All those things that don't change come what may  
        A                  Bm            E7               A   
Now our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on  
          D              F#m            E7    
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.  
   
     A                    D                 E7               A     
If I get there before the snowflies, and if things are going good  
                       D                 E7    
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare  
       A                Bm              E7              A   
But by then it would be winter, nothing much for you to do  
        D               F#m          E7     
And the wind sure blows cold way out there  
   
            A               D             E7            A     
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high  
                            D                E7   
All those things that don't change come what may  
        A                  Bm            E7               A   
Now our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on  
          D              F#m            E7    
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.  
   
        A                  Bm            E7               A   
Yes our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on  
          D              F#m            A     
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
