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