Verse

       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

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
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

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
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
     Bb             Eb
of a windmill going round
  Cm                Dm
I guess I'll always be
             Gm
a soldier of fortune.
  Eb                Dm7
I guess I'll always be
             G
a soldier of fortune.
