Intro: Am   G   D    Am

     Am
I have often told you stories
G
about the way
   Am
I lived the life of a drifter
Em
Waiting for the day
     Am
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
   G
Then maybe you would say
Am
Come lay with me and love me
Em                      D C
  And I would surely stay
C       D           Am
  But I feel I'm growing older
F        G           C
  And the songs that I have sung
  E7         Am
  Echo in the distance
         G
  Like the sound
      C         F
  Of a windmill going round
  Dm             Em
  Guess I'll always be
           Am
  A soldier of fortune

(solo) Am D Am D
       Am G D  Am

    Am
Many times I've been a traveller
G
I looked for something new
  Am
In days of old when nights were cold
Em
I wandered without you
 Am
But those days I thought my eyes
   G
Had seen you standing near
Am
Though blindness is confusing
Em
It shows that you're not here

C      D            Am
  But I feel I'm growing older
F          G            C
  And the songs that I have sung
  E7        Am
  Echo in the distance
         G
  Like the sound
      C         F
  Of a windmill going round
 Dm             Em
 Guess I'll always be
           Am
  A soldier of fortune

     C          G
  Yes, I can hear the sound
      C         F
  Of a windmill going round
    Dm             Em
  I guess I'll always be
           Am
  A soldier of fortune.
    F           Em
  I guess I'll always be
           A
  A soldier of fortune
