[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
