[G] [Am] [Em]
[D]
Four [G] strong winds that [C] blow lonely, [D] seven seas that [G] run high,
All these things that [C] don't change, come [D] what may.
But [G] our good times [Am] are all gone, [D] and I'm bound [G] for moving on,
I'll [Am] look for you if [Em] I never [D] pass away.
Guess [G]
I'll go out to [C] the mountains, where [D] there's good air [G] in the fall,
Got some friends that I can [C] go to working [D] for.
Still [G] I wish you'd [Am] change your mind, [D] if I'd ask you one [G] more time,
But [Am] we've been through that [Em] a hundred [D] times or more.
Four [G] strong winds that [C] blow lonely, [D] seven seas that [G] run high,
All these things that [C] don't change, come [D] what may.
But [G] our good times [Am] are all gone, and [D] I'm bound for [G] moving on,
[Am] I'll look for you if [Em] I'm ever back [D] this way.
[G] If I get there for the [C] snowflies, [D]
things are [G] going good,
You could meet me if [C] I sent you down [D] the fair,
But [G] by then it would [Am] be winter, [D] nothing much for [G] you to do.
And [Am] the wind sure [Em] blows cold way [D] out there.
Four [G] strong winds that [C] blow lonely, [D] seven seas that [G] run high,
All these things that [C] don't change, come [D] what may.
But [G] our good times [Am] are all gone, [D] and I'm bound for [G] moving on,
I'll [Am] look for you [Em] if I'm ever
[D] [G] back this way.
