       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                      D C Bb
And I would surely stay


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

     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                              D C Bb
  It shows that you're not here.


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


       Eb             F
  Yes, I can hear the sound
         Bb           Eb   D
  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.
