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