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
