  29 Four strong winds that blow lonely,
  30       D7            G
  31 Seven seas that run high,
  32           C                 Am                D7
  33 All these things that won't change, Come what may.
  34         G                  Am
  35 But our good times are all gone,
  36         D7               G
  37 And I'm bound for moving on.
  38           C              Am             D7
  39 I'll look for you if you ever come this way.

  43 Think I'll go out to Alberta,
  44 Weather's good there in the fall.
  45 Got some friends that I can go to working for,
  46 Still I wish you'd change your mind
  47 If I asked you one more time,
  48 But we've been through that a hundred times or more.

  61 [hm hm hm]
  62 down the lonely [...]
  63 [and the wind that carries ...]
  64 [hm hm hm] would be springtime
  65 and not much for you to do,

  80 <p>Ian and Sylvia's last verse, which is a little more clear than Dylan's...:</p>
  81 <pre class="verse">
  82 If I get there before the snow flies,
  83 And if things are looking good,
  84 You could meet me if I sent you down the fare.
  85 But by then it would be winter,
  86 Not too much for you to do
  87 And the winds sure can blow cold way out there.
