Intro:
I have [Gm]often told you stories
ab[F]out the way
I l[Gm]ived the life of a drifter
[Dm] waiting for the day
When I'd t[Gm]ake your hand and sing you songs
Then m[F]aybe you would say
[Gm]Come lay with me and love me
[Dm]And I would surely stay[D][C][Bb]
[Bb] But I f[C]eel I'm growing o[Gm]lder
[Eb] And the s[F]ongs that I have s[Bb]ung
E[D]cho in the di[Gm]stance
Like the so[F]und
Of a w[Bb]indmill going ro[Eb]und[D]
[Cm]Guess I'll always [Dm]be
A soldier of f[Gm]ortune.

Many [Gm]times I've been a traveller
I l[F]ooked for something new
In [Gm]days of old when nights were cold
[Dm] I wandered without you
[Gm] But those days I thought my eyes
Had [F]seen you standing near
[Gm] Though blindness is confusing
[Dm] It shows that you're not here.[D][C][Bb]
[Bb] Now I f[C]eel I'm going [Gm]older
[Eb] And the s[F]ongs that I have s[Bb]ung
E[D]cho in the di[Gm]stance
Like the so[F]und
Of a w[Bb]indmill going ro[Eb]und[D]
[Cm]Guess I'll always [Dm]be
A soldier of f[Gm]ortune.
Yes, [Eb]I can hear the [F]sound
of a wi[Bb]ndmill going [Eb]round[D]
I g[Cm]uess I'll always [Dm]be
a soldier of f[Gm]ortune.
I g[Eb]uess I'll always be[F]
a soldier of f[G]ortune.
