                 C        Dm
I think I'll go out to Alberta
           G                 C
Weather's good there in the fall
                C                Dm          G C F G F
I've got some friends that I can go working for
         C                      Dm
Still I wish you'd change your mind
     G                 C
If I ask you one more time
           Dm                  F                G  C F G F
But we've been through that a hundred times or more

Chorus:
         C               Dm
Four strong winds that blow lonely
       G             C
Seven seas that run high
            C                 Dm
All those things that don't change,
           G  C F G F
come what may
        C                  Dm
If the good times are all gone
          G               C
Then I'm bound for moving on
           Dm            F               G C F G F
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

If I get there before the snow flies
And if things are lookin' good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

Chorus:
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
The good times are all gone
So I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Still, I wish you'd change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more

Chorus:
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone
Then I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
