Tom: G

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
