Soldier
of fortune
Am G
1. I have often told
you stories about the way,
Am Em
I lived the life of a drifter, waiting for
the day
Am
when I'd take your hand and sing you songs,
G
then maybe you would say:
Am Em
Come lay with me and love me, and I
would surely stay.
Em-D-C D Am
But I feel I'm growing older,
F G C Em Am
and the songs that I have sung echo in the
distance,
G C F
like the sound of a
windmill going round.
Dm Em Am
Guess I'll always be a
soldier of fortune.
Am G
2. Many times I've
been a traveller, I looked for something new,
Am
- Em
in days of old when nights were cold I wandered without you.
Am G
But those days I thought my eyes had seen
you standing near,
Am Em
though blindness is confusing, it shows
that you're not here.
+ CHORUS + Yes, I can hear the sound of a windmill going
round,
Dm Em Am
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune.
Dm Em Am
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune.
