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.
C G C
F
+ 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.
