Key: C
Introduction: Am G D Am
Am
I have often told you stories
G
about the way
Am
I lived the life of a drifter
Em
Waiting for the day
Am
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
G
Then maybe you would say
Am
Come lay with me and love me
Em D C
And I would surely stay
C D Am
But I feel I'm growing older
F G C
And the songs that I have sung
E7 Am
Echo in the distance
G
Like the sound
C F
Of a windmill going round
Dm Em
Guess I'll always be
Am
A soldier of fortune
Am
Many times I've been a traveller
G
I looked for something new
Am
In days of old when nights were cold
Em
I wandered without you
Am
But those days I thought my eyes
G
Had seen you standing near
Am
Though blindness is confusing
Em
It shows that you're not here
C D Am
But I feel I'm growing older
F G C
And the songs that I have sung
E7 Am
Echo in the distance
G
Like the sound
C F
Of a windmill going round
Dm Em
Guess I'll always be
Am
A soldier of fortune
C G
Yes, I can hear the sound
C F
Of a windmill going round
Dm Em
I guess I'll always be
Am
A soldier of fortune.
F Em
I guess I'll always be
A
A soldier of fortune
