Intro: Gm / F / Eb
Gm
I have often told you stories
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 Bass D-C-Bb
And I would surely stay
Bb C Gm Bass 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 Bass 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 Bass 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 (major chord)
a soldier of foRtune.
