Anyone help? I just can't remember them. Thanks a lot. Also need chord progressions on this one. |

21 Sep 00 - 04:30 PM (#302513) Subject: RE: more verses to 'four strong winds' From: Gary T The part that starts "Four strong winds..." can be thought of as a chorus: it is typically sung first and last, and sometimes in between the other two verses. I would suggest a "better" chord arrangement than the one on Cowpie (I got it from a book years ago, and it sounds better to me): G Am D G |

18 Sep 02 - 01:58 AM (#786420) Subject: DT Corr: Four Strong Winds (Ian Tyson) From: Joe Offer OK, George Seto dropped a tantalizing hint in another thread, and I'm not going to let him get away with it: Another similar case is Four Strong Winds, where Bobby Bare wrote a completely different song from hearing Ian Tyson's version on the radio while in his car.OK, George, so what are the lyrics to the Bobby Bare song? -Joe Offer- Here are the words from the Digital Tradition. I listened to the studio recording and found a few words that were different - I put my corrections in italics. Any other corrections? FOUR STRONG WINDS (Ian Tyson) Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, All those things that don't change, come what may. But our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on. I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. Got some friends that I can go to workin' for. Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time But we've been through that a hundred times or more. CHORUS If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are You could meet me if I sent you down the fare, But by then it would be winter, And those winds sure CHORUS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright Ian Tyson Recorded by Ian and Sylvia @Canada @love filename[ FOURSTRN DC Studio recording by Ian & Sylvia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjfTDPhMdTk 1986 live performance by Ian & Sylvia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3m7ckGhnsc Neil Young: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP9UjLeLN5A Ian Tyson Tells The Story Behind 'Four Strong Winds' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJdvv7jB0Tc |

18 Sep 02 - 05:04 AM (#786469) Subject: RE: more verses to 'four strong winds' From: Joan from Wigan The Bobby Bare Songbook gives the well-known Ian Tyson lyrics. I've never heard different lyrics (excepting the odd changed word or two), and have often wished the song was longer. If anyone has written extra verses, I too would be interested in knowing them.

18 Sep 02 - 11:16 AM (#786703) Subject: RE: more verses to 'four strong winds' From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca I remember back in the late sixties or early 70s, there was an interview with Bobby Bare. He had been travelling between gigs, and heard part of the song Four Strong Winds. He liked it very much, but was unable to locate the station he heard it on, and hadn't heard the name of the singer. He did remember the Four Strong Winds part of it. So he proceeded to write and sing a song with the same title. I'll have to do more research. |

18 Sep 02 - 11:36 AM (#786717) Subject: RE: more verses to 'four strong winds' From: Midchuck Any person who thinks he can improve on Ian Tyson's songwriting should have his poetic license revoked on the spot. And perhaps be required to join Ian in some rodeo cutting horse competitions, playing the part of the beef. Peter. |

The shortened version is that it was their unique way of dealing with the pain of divorce. Beautifully done, methinks. |

19 Jul 06 - 08:44 PM (#1787784) Subject: RE: more verses to 'four strong winds' From: Little Hawk Ian Tyson (in 1963): If Bob Dylan's writing hits Then why can't I do it too? After all, he's just a scruffy little kid! He's not tall and strong like me He can't even tie his shoes He can't ride the buckin' broncos like I did Four strong chords that ring lonely Seven changes that go round Till you end up at the start, and start again That Bob Dylan rots my socks He eats onion buns and lox Now get ready...here the chorus comes again... Four strong chords that... etc. *(Tyson reputedly wrote FSW sometime between '61 and '63, having taken note of Dylan's great success with self-penned songs, and saying something like: "If that little squirt can write a hit song, so can I." FSW was Ian's first orginal compositon, at least the first that was recorded, and it remains his most successful song.) |

16 Mar 07 - 10:18 PM (#1999235) Subject: RE: more verses to 'four strong winds' From: GUEST,Gordon Well, Ian is not tall, I have stood beside him and I know. I don't know when he started riding horses or ranching, but he is still at it today, I guess. And he Does know who Casey Tibbs is/was. I love the song he wrote about "The RainBow Rider". I cannot think of him writing those stupid 'Dylan Lyrics".they are a tad bigoted and do not show Ian's talent. Nevertheless, the myth could be fact and myths do Become facts. Mr. Tyson also wrote many hits that were made so as sung other artists, including 'Navaho Rug' as done by Jerry Jeff Walker and 'Someday Soon' as sung by Judy Collins. I don't think his trouble with relationships ended with his divorce from Silvia Fricker. For a glimse into his longing for his love(s), see both 'Navaho Rug and 'Irving Berlin (is 100 years old today)'. Mind you, he did take to Alberta and worked on the coasts of 2 of Canadas oceans and now is part of History. They have even hummed him in Jersey I hear. - G. |

As I recall the stories, he was a competitive rodeo rider 'til back injuries forced him to give it up. It was after that he turned to music. Ain't no wannabe - the man's an authentic cowboy. |
