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