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

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