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

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.
Now I feel I'm going older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Eb             F
Yes, I can hear the sound
Bb        Eb        B  Eb D C
of a windmill going round
Cm                  Dm
I guess I'll always be
Gm
a soldier of fortune.
Eb                  F
I guess I'll always be
G
a soldier of fortune.
