    G+G            A minorAm            D7D7             G+G
think I will go out to Alberta, weather is good there in the fall
        G+G              A minorAm          D7D7
got some friends that I could go a workin’ for
     G+G                  A minorAm   D7D7           G+G
yet I wish you would change your mind, if I asked you one more time,
         A minorAm       C majorC              D7D7
but we have been thru this a hundred times or more…
                   G+G           A minorAm      D7D7
    G+G
chorus :    four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high,
                G+G             A minorAm          D7D7
        all these things that wont change come what may
                G+G             A minorAm          D7D7
          G+G
        well our good times are all gone and I am bound for moving on
      A minorAm       C majorC           D7D7
I will look for you if I am ever back this way

if I get there before the snow flies, and if things are looking good,

you could meet me if I sent you down the fare,

but by then it would be winter, not much for you to do,

and the winds can sure blow could, a way out there.

chorus :    four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high,

        all these things that won’t change come what may

        well our good times are all gone and I’m bound for moving on

I will look for you if I’m ever back this way

G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G A minorAm D MajorD

still I wish you’d change your mind, if I asked you one more time,

but we have been thru this a hundred times or more…

chorus :    four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high,

        all these things that wont change come what may

        well our good times are all gone and I am bound for moving on

I will look for you if I am ever back this way

I will look for you if I am ever back this way


this is the tuning and the chords I play it, I tune my 12-string Breedlove 2 steps down,
Neil plays it in C…

this machine does not allow for slang like I'll or I'm, so I had to write I will or I
am as an example, Neil is using the slang...

all the best, JD Hanke www.jdhanke.com
