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