Four Strong Winds that blow lonely,

Seven seas that run high,

All these things that won't change, come what may,

But my good times are all gone

And I'm bound for moving on.
C D D7
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
G C
I may go out to Alberta,
D7 G
Weather's good there in the fall.
C D D7
Got some friends that I could go to workin' for.

Still, I Wish You'd Change Your Mind

If I asked you one more time,
C D D7
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.

If I get there before the snow flies
D7 G
And things are goin' good,

You could join me if I send you down the fare,

But if you wait until it's winter, it would do no good,
C D D7
For the winds sure can blow cold way out there.
