Chad Mitchell Trio - Four Strong Winds 
From: Singin' Our Mind LP (1963) 
Written By Ian Tyson
Four bar intro:  
F   C   G   G
[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]
Think I'll Cgo out to AlbFerta, weather's Ggood there in the CFall.
Got some Cfriends that I can Fgo to workin' Gfor.G  
Yet I Cwish you'd change your Fmind, if I Gasked you one more Ctime,
But we've Fbeen through that a Chundred times or Gmore.G  
[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 2]
If I Cget there 'fore the Fsnow flies, And if Gthings are looking Cgood,
You could Cmeet me if I Fsent you down the Gfare.G  
But by Cthen it would be Fwinter, not too Gmuch for you to Cdo
And the Fwind sure blows Ccold way out Gthere.G  
[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.
