[Chorus]
EFour strong Awinds that blow Bmlonely
Seven Eseas that run Ahigh
All those Dthings that don't Bmchange come what Emay
But the Agood times are all Bmgone
And I'm Ebound for moving Aon
I'll look Bmfor you if you eDver come this Eway
[Verse 1]
AI think I'll go out to AlbBmerta
Weather's good Ethere in the fallA  
I've got some Dfriends that I can Bmgo working Efor
Still I wiAsh you'd change your miBmnd
If I Eask you one more Atime
But we've Bmbeen through that a Dhundred times Eor more
[Chorus]
EFour strong Awinds that blow Bmlonely
Seven Eseas that run Ahigh
All those Dthings that don't Bmchange come what Emay
But the Agood times are all Bmgone
And I'm Ebound for moving Aon
I'll look Bmfor you if if you eDver come this Eway
[Verse 2]
If I get Athere before the Bmsnow flies, And if Ethings are looking good
You could meeDt me if I senBmt you down the farEe
But by Athen it would be Bmspringtime
Not Etoo much for you to Ado
And I'll sBmee you if I pass Dthis way aEgain

With its clear Canadian imagery of long, cold winters and a specific mention of Alberta, the lyrics evoke a strong sense of place.
