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

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