 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 movin' on,
 I'll look for  you if I'm ever  back this way.
 Think I'll go  out to Alberta,  weather's good  there in the fall,
 Got some friends  that I could go  a workin' for.
 Yet I wish  you'd change your mind,  if I asked  you one more time,
 But we've been  through this a hundred  times or more.
 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 movin' on,
 I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
 If I get  there 'fore the snow  flies,
 And if things  are lookin’ 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 cold,  a way out there.
 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 movin' on,
 I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

Readable chord sheet for Four Strong Winds by Johnny Cash

Four strong w[E]inds that blow lo[F#m]nely, Seven sea[B]s that run h[E]igh,
All these th[A]ings that won’t ch[F#]ange come what m[B]ay.
Well our go[E]od times are all [A]gone, and I'm [B]bound for movin' o[E]n,
I'll look f[A]or you if I'm e[F#7]ver back this wa[B]y.

Think I'll g[E]o out to Albe[F#m]rta, weather's g[B]ood there in the f[E]all,
Got some fr[A]iends that I could g[F#]o a workin' f[B]or.
Yet I w[E]ish you'd change your min[A]d, if I ask[B]ed you one more t[E]ime,
But we've [A]been through this a h[F#7]undred times or m[B]ore.

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 movin' on,
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

If I [E]get there 'fore the [F#m]snow flies,
And if th[B]ings are lookin’ goo[E]d,
You could [A]meet me if I s[F#]ent you down the far[B]e.
But by t[E]hen it would be wi[A]nter, not mu[B]ch for you to do,[E]
And the wi[A]nds can sure blow [F#7]cold, a way out the[B]re.

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 movin' on,
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
