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.

      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.
