Intro: Gm   F   Eb

        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                      Bass D-C-Bb     
  And I would surely stay
Bb       C                Gm   Bass G-F-Eb      
  But I feel I'm growing older
            F                Bb 
  And the songs that I have sung
   D            Gm
  Echo in the distance
             F  
  Like the sound
        Bb              Eb  Bass Eb-D
  Of a windmill going round
  Cm                Dm
  Guess I'll always be
                Gm
  A soldier of fortune
Solo:  Gm / C / Gm / C / 
       Gm / Bb / C / Gm 
        
        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                      Bass D-C-Bb
It shows that you're not here

Bb       C                Gm   Bass G-F-Eb      
  But I feel I'm growing older
            F                Bb 
  And the songs that I have sung
   D            Gm
  Echo in the distance
             F  
  Like the sound
        Bb              Eb  Bass 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 Bass 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  (major chord)  
  A soldier of fortune
