[Intro] Gm  F  Eb

        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                     (Base: D-C-Bb)
  And I would surely stay

Bb       C                Gm   (Base: 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  (Base: 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

     Gm
Many times I've been a traveller
  F
I looked for something new
   Gm
In days of old when nights were cold
  F
I wandered without you
    Gm
But those days I thought my eyes
  F
Had seen you standing near
  Gm
Though blindness is confusing
Dm                   (Base: D-C-Bb)
It shows that you're not here

Bb       C                Gm   (Base: G-F-Eb)
  Now I feel I'm going older
            F                Bb
  And the songs that I have sung
   D            Gm
  Echo in the distance
             F
  Like the sound
        Bb              Eb  (Base: Eb-D)
  Of a windmill going round
  Cm                Dm
  Guess I'll always be
                Gm
  A soldier of fortune

       Eb             F
  Yes, I can hear the sound
         Bb           (Base: Eb-D-C)
  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  (major chord)
  A soldier of fortune
