Four Strong Winds
Neil Young
[Verse 1]
Think I'll go out to Alberta, Weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind If I ask you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more
[Chorus]
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, then I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
[Verse 2]
If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are lookin' good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare
But by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there
[Chorus]
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, then I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
[Verse 3]
Still, I wish you'd change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
[Chorus]
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, then I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
