[Chorus 1]
Four strong Dwinds that blow Emlonely, Seven A7seas that run Dhigh,
All these Gthings that won’t E7change come what A7may.
Well our Dgood times are all Emgone, and I'm A7bound for movin' Don,
I'll look Gfor you if I'm E7ever back this A7way.
[Verse 1]
Think I'll Dgo out to EmAlberta, weather's A7good there in the Dfall,
Got some Gfriends that I could E7go a workin' A7for.
Yet I Dwish you'd change your Emmind, if I A7asked you one more Dtime,
But we've Gbeen through this a E7hundred times or A7more.
[Chorus 2]
Four strong Dwinds that blow Emlonely, Seven A7seas that run Dhigh,
All these Gthings that won’t E7change come what A7may.
Well our Dgood times are all Emgone, and I'm A7bound for movin' Don,
I'll look Gfor you if I'm E7ever back this A7way.

[Verse 2]
If I Dget there 'fore the Emsnow flies, and if A7things are lookin’ Dgood,
You could Gmeet me if I E7sent you down the A7fare.
But by Dthen it would be Emwinter, not A7much for you to Ddo,
And the Gwinds can sure blow E7cold, a way out A7there.
[Chorus 3]
Four strong Dwinds that blow Emlonely, Seven A7seas that run Dhigh,
All these Gthings that won’t E7change come what A7may.

I'll look Gfor you if I'm E7ever back this A7way.
