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.
