Verse
I have o[Gm] ften told you stories
[F] About the way
I [Gm] lived the life of a drifter
[Dm] waiting for the day
When I'd [Gm] take your hand and sing you songs
Then [F] maybe you would say
[Gm] Come lay with me and love me
[Dm] And I would surely stay
[Chorus]
[Bb] But I [C] feel I'm growing [Gm] older
[Eb] And the [F] songs that I have [Bb] sung
E[D] cho in the [Gm] distance
Like the [F] sound
Of a [Bb] windmill going [Eb] round
[Cm] Guess I'll always [Dm] be
A soldier of [Gm] fortune.

Verse
Many [Gm] times I've been a traveller
I [F] looked for something new
In days of [Gm] 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] But I [C] feel I'm growing o[Gm] lder
[Eb] And the [F] songs that I have [Bb] sung
[D] Echo in the [Gm] distance
Like the [F] sound
Of a [Bb] windmill going [Eb] round
[Cm] Guess I'll always [Dm] be
A soldier of [Gm] fortune.
Yes, [Gm] I can hear the [F] sound
of a [Bb] windmill going [Eb] round
I [Cm] guess I'll always [Dm] be
a soldier of [Gm] fortune.
I [Eb] guess I'll always [Dm7] be
a soldier of [G] fortune.
