Ever The Winds chords by Tommy Makem

Am       G          Am           Em
As I went a walking way down by the green wood
C             G       Am       Em
Down where the ivy and laurel entwine
C           G          Am             Em
I heard a bird singing his sad, plaintive love song;
   Am              Em                     Am
He mourned for his true love as I mourned mine



Chorus
C       G            Am             Em
Ever the winds keep on changing their journey
C                     Am           Em
Ever the waves keep on changing the sea
C         G           Am          EM
Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;
   Am            Em                                Am
My true love has changed
But there's no change in me
  Am              G      Am               EM
I brought my love flowers all tied up with ribbons
C             G           Am        Em
Soon the sweet flowers were faded and gone
C         G             Am           Em
Like the flowers my true love's affections have withered
      Am        Em                        Am
Which leaves me alone here to pine and to mourn.
Chorus
C       G            Am             Em
Ever the winds keep on changing their journey
C                     Am           Em
Ever the waves keep on changing the sea
C         G           Am          Em
Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;
   Am            Em                                Am
My true love has changed
But there's no change in me
   Am          G      Am          Em
My constant companions sadness and sorrow;
C          D        Am      Em
Trouble has never forsaken me yet.
        C     G         Am           Em
But wherever I go till my days are all numbered
Am         Em                    Am
The love of my soul I will never forget.
Chorus
C       G            Am             Em
Ever the winds keep on changing their journey
C                     Am           Em
Ever the waves keep on changing the sea
C         G           Am          Em
Ever green summer keeps changing to autumn;
   Am            Em                                Am
My true love has changed
But there's no change in me.
