[Intro]
F#m E B F#m
[Verse]
F#m
I have often told you stories
E
about the way
F#m C#m
I lived the life of a drifter
waiting for the day
F#m
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
E
Then maybe you would say
F#m C#m
Come lay with me and love me
C#m B A
And I would surely stay
[Chorus]
A B F#m D
But I feel I'm growing older
E A
And the songs that I have sung
C# F#m
Echo in the distance
E
Like the sound
A D
Of a windmill going round
Bm C#m
Guess I'll always be
F#m
A soldier of fortune.
[Solo]

F#m A B F#m
[Verse]
F#m
Many times I've been a traveler
E
I looked for something new
F#m C#m
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
F#m
But those days I thought my eyes
E
Had seen you standing near
F#m C#m
Though blindness is confusing
C#m B A
It shows that you're not here.
[Chorus]
A B F#m D
But I feel I'm growing older
E A
And the songs that I have sung
C# F#m
Echo in the distance
E
Like the sound
A D
Of a windmill going round
Bm C#m
Guess I'll always be
F#m
A soldier of fortune.
[Outro]
F#m E
Yes, I can hear the sound
A D
of a windmill going round
Bm C#m
I guess I'll always be
F#m
a soldier of fortune.
D E
I guess I'll always be
F#
a soldier of fortune.
