Intro:  /  / 

        
I have often t

old you storie

s

I have often told you stories

about the way
   
I lived the li

fe of a drifte

r

  waiting for 

the day
          
When I'd take 

your hand and 

sing you songs
      
Then maybe you

 would say

Come lay with 

me and love me
            
  And I would 

           
surely stay


           
  But I feel I

            
'm growing old

    
er
             
  And the song

              
s that I have 

 
sung
             
  Echo in the 

  
distance
             
  Like the sou

nd
            
  Of a windmil

             
l going round
            
  Guess I'll a

      
lways be
              
  A soldier of

  
 fortune.

Solo:  Gm / C / Gm / C /
        /  /  / 

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

            
  Yes, I can h

        
ear the sound
            
  of a windmil

          
l going round
            
  I guess I'll

        
 always be
              
  a soldier of

  
 fortune.
            
  I guess I'll

  
 always be
                G  (major chord)
  a soldier of foRtune.
