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

Cm
Many times I've been a traveler
A#
I looked for something new
Cm Gm
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
Cm
But those days I thought my eyes
A#
Had seen you standing near
Cm Gm
Though blindness is confusing
Gm F D#
It shows that you're not here.
[Chorus]
D# F Cm G#
But I feel I'm growing older
A# D#
And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance
A#
Like the sound
D# G#
Of a windmill going round
Fm Gm
Guess I'll always be
Cm
A soldier of fortune.
[Outro]
Cm A#
Yes, I can hear the sound
D# G#
of a windmill going round
Fm Gm
I guess I'll always be
Cm
a soldier of fortune.
G# A#
I guess I'll always be
