Four Strong Winds
Ian Tyson, 1961· Songs Well-Known in America · p.108
Chorus:
D G Am
Four strong Winds that blow lonely,
D7 G
Seven seas that run high,
G Am D D7
All those things that don’t change, Come what may- - - - - -
G Am
But our good times are all gone,
D7 G
And I’m bound for movin’ on,
G Am C D G D
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.
G Am
I think I’ll go out to Al - berta ---
If I get there ‘fore the snow flies,
D7 G
Weather’s good there in the fall,
And if things are looking good,
D G Am D D7
I got some friends that I can go to working for,
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare,
G Am D7 G
Still I wish you’d change your mind, if I asked you one more time,
But by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do,
G Am C D G D
But we’ve been through that a hundred times or more. (Chorus)
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there. (Chorus)
