Ian Tyson Four Strong Winds Lyrics:

Chorus

G Am
Four strong winds that blow lowly,

D7 G
Seven seas that run high,

Am 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 moving on.

C D7
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

G Am
Think I'll go out to Alberta,

D7 G
Weather's good there in the fall.

Am D7
I got some friends that I can go a'working for,

G Am
Still I wish you'd change your mind

D7 G
If I asked you one more time,

C D7
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.

Chorus

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

Chorus
