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.
