[Intro]
G Am D G C Em D
[Chorus]
Four strong Gwinds that blow Amlonely, seven Dseas that run Ghigh
All those Gthings that don't Amchange come what DmayD7  
But our Ggood times are all Amgone, and I'm Dbound for moving Gon
I'll look Cfor you if I'm Emever back this Dway
[Verse]
Think I'll Ggo out to AlAmberta, weather's Dgood there in the Gfall 
I got some Gfriends that I can Amgo to working Dfor D7  
Still I Gwish you'd change your Ammind, if I Dasked you one more Gtime 
But we've Cbeen through that a Emhundred times or Dmore 
[Chorus]
Four strong Gwinds that blow Amlonely, seven Dseas that run Ghigh
All those Gthings that don't Amchange come what DmayD7  
But our Ggood times are all Amgone, and I'm Dbound for moving Gon
I'll look Cfor you if I'm Emever back this Dway
[Verse]
If I Gget there before the Amsnow flies, and if Dthings are going Ggood 
You could Gmeet me if I Amsent you down the Dfare D7  
But by Gthen it would be Amwinter, nothing Dmuch for you to Gdo 
And those Cwinds sure can blow Emcold way out Dthere 
[Chorus]
Four strong Gwinds that blow Amlonely, seven Dseas that run Ghigh
All those Gthings that don't Amchange come what DmayD7  
But our Ggood times are all Amgone, and I'm Dbound for moving Gon
I'll look Cfor you if I'm Emever back this Dway

[Intro]

G Am D G C Em D

[Chorus]

G Am D G

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high

G Am D D7

All those things that don't change come what may

G Am D G

But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on

C Em D

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

[Verse]

G Am D G

Think I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall

G Am D D7

I got some friends that I can go to working for

G Am D G

Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time

C Em D

But we've been through that a hundred times or more

[Chorus]

G Am D G

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high

G Am D D7

All those things that don't change come what may

G Am D G

But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on

C Em D

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

[Verse]

G Am D G

If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are going good

G Am D D7

You could meet me if I sent you down the fare

G Am D G

But by then it would be winter, nothing much for you to do

C Em D

And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

[Chorus]

G Am D G

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high

G Am D D7

All those things that don't change come what may

G Am D G

But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on

C Em D

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