Soldier of fortune

        Gm
I have often told you stories
F
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                     
  And I would surely stay


[Chorus]

B       C                Gm   
  But I feel I'm growing older
D#          F                B
And the songs that I have sung
 D            Gm
Echo in the distance
           F
Like the sound
      B              D#  
Of a windmill going round
Cm                Dm
Guess I'll always be
              Gm
A soldier of fortune.

[Verse]
      Gm 
Many times I've been a traveller
    F
I looked for something new
            Gm   
In days of old when nights were cold
Dm
   I wandered without you
Gm
But those days I thought my eyes
F
Had seen you standing near
Gm
Though blindness is confusing
Dm  
It shows that you're not here.


[Chorus]

B        C                Gm   
  But I feel I'm growing older
D#          F                B 
And the songs that I have sung
 D            Gm
Echo in the distance
           F
Like the sound
      B               D#  
Of a windmill going round
Cm                Dm
Guess I'll always be
              Gm
A soldier of fortune.

     Gm             F
Yes, I can hear the sound
       B            D#  
of a windmill going round
   Cm               Dm
I guess I'll always be
              Gm
a soldier of fortune.
   D#               Dm7
I guess I'll always be
              G   
a soldier of fortune.
