Intro: Gm / Dm / C / Gm
Gm
I have often told you stories
F
about the way
Gm
I lived the life of a drifter
Dm
Waiting for the day
Gm
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
F
Then maybe you would say
Gm
Come lay with me and love me
Dm
D-C-Bb
And I would surely stay
Bb C
Gm G-F-Eb
But I feel I'm growing older
F
Bb
And the songs that I have sung
D
Gm
Echo in the distance
F
Like the sound
Bb
Eb Eb-D
Of a windmill going round
Cm
Dm
Guess I'll always be
Gm
A soldier of fortune.
Solo: Gm / C / Gm / C / Gm / Bb / C / Gm
Many times I've been a traveller I looked for
something new
In days of old when nights were cold I wandered
without you
But those days I thought my eyes Had seen you
standing near
Though blindness is confusing It shows that you're
not here.
Now I feel I'm going older And the songs
that I have sung
Echo in the distance Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune
Eb
F
Yes, I can hear the sound
Bb
Eb Eb-D
of a windmill going round
Cm
Dm
I guess I'll always be
Gm
a soldier of fortune.
Eb
F
I guess I'll always be
G
a soldier of fortune.
