Chords for Bobby Bare - Medley

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
For strong winds that blow [C] alone, _ [D] seven seas that [G] run high, _ [C] all these things that won't
change come [D] what may. _ _ _
All [G] my good times [C] are all gone, _ [D] and I'm [G] bound for moving on. _
[C] I'll look for you if I never back [D] this way. _ _ _
I [G] may go out to _ [C] _
Alberta, [D] weather's good there [G] in the fall. _
[C] Got some friends that I could go to [D] working for. _ _ _ _
Still [G] I wish you'd change [C] your mind _ [D] if I asked you one [G] more time. _
[C] But we've been through that a hundred times [D] or more.
_ _ _ _ [E]
[Bm] If [G] I get there before [C] the snow flies [Em] [D] and things are [G] gone due, _
[C] you could join me if I'd send you down [D] the fair.
_ _ _ But if [G] you wait until [C] it's winter, _
_ [D] _ it would [G] do no good. _
[C] For the wind sure can blow cold way [D] out there. _ _ _ _
For [G] strong winds that blow [C] alone, _ [D] seven seas [G] that run high,
all [C] these things that won't change come [D] what may. _ _ _
All [G] my good times are [C] all gone, _ [D] and I'm bound for moving [G] on.
I'll [C] look for you if I never back [D] this way. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ Oh, _ _
[N] I like that. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I played that a lot.
I like that.
Who wrote that?
That song was written by an old buddy of mine and Chris's from [G] Canada, Ian Tyson.
Ian Tyson, great songwriter.
Follow me, boys. _ _
Oh, [Am] I'm _ five hundred [D] _
miles [G] away from home. _ _
_ _ _ Teardrops fell on _ _ me.
When I read the [Em] thing she wrote, she [Am] said,
We miss you, [C] son, we love you.
Come [D] on home.
_ _ _ _ Well, [G] I didn't have to pass.
I had it all right on [Em] my back.
[Am] Now I'm five hundred [D] _
miles [G] away from home. _ _
_ Away from home, away from home, cold land. _ _
_ [Em] _ _ Yes, [Am] I'm five hundred [D] _ miles away [G] from _ home. _ _ _ _ _ _
I know this is the same road I took _ the day I left home,
[Em] _ _ but it sure looks [Am] different now.
_ _ Well, [C] I guess I look different, too, [D] _ because time changes everything.
_ _ [G] _ I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking [Em] this way.
_ Oh, [Am] I wonder what they'll [D] say when I [G] get home. _
_ [A] _ _ _ Can't [D] remember when I ate.
It's just some walking [Bm] way.
_ And [Em] I'm still five [G] hundred miles _ [A] away from home.
_ _ _ _ If [Em] [D] my luck had been just right, _ I'd be with them [Bm] all tonight.
_ [Em] But I'm still _ five [A] hundred miles _ [D] away from home. _ _
_ _ Away [G] from home, away from home, cold and tired is [Em] all.
_ _ Yes, [Am] I'm five hundred [D] miles away [G] from home. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Away [G] from home. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
