Intro: C - Am - D - D7
G Am
Four Strong Winds that blow lonely,
D7 G
Seven seas that run high,
C Am D D7
All these things that won't change, come what may,
G Am
But my good times are all gone
D7 G
And I'm bound for moving on.
C Am D D7
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
G Am
I may go out to Alberta,
D7 G
Weather's good there in the fall.
C Am D D7
Got some friends that I could go to workin' for.
G Am
Still, I Wish You'd Change Your Mind
D7 G
If I asked you one more time,
C Am D D7
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.
Instrumental Break: Chords as per verse
G Am
If I get there before the snow flies
D7 G
And things are goin' good,
C Am D D7
You could join me if I send you down the fare,
G Am D7 G
But if you wait until it's winter, it would do no good,
C Am D D7
For the winds sure can blow cold way out there.
REPEAT CHORUS
C (Am D) C Am D D7 G
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
