I have often told you stories about the way
Gm
I lived the life of a drifter
F
waiting for the day
Gm F(V)
When I take your hand and sing your song
F(V)
then maybe you would say
Gm
come lay with me love me
F
and I would surely stay
Chorus:
Eb F Gm
Now I see I’m going older
Eb F Ab
And the songs that I have sung
Db Gm
echo in the distance
F Db Eb
Like the sound of a windmill going ’round
Cm Dm Gm
I guess I always be a soldier of fortune
Gm F(V)
Many times I’ve been a traveller I looked for something new
Gm
In days of old when nights were cold
F
I wondered without you
Gm F(V)
And day I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Gm
Thou blindness is confusing
F
It shows that you’re not here
Chorus:
Eb F Gm
Now I see I’m going older
Eb F Ab
And the songs that I have sung
Db Gm
echo in the distance
F Db Eb
Like the sound of a windmill going ’round
Cm Dm Gm
I guess I always be a soldier of fortune
F Db Eb
Yes, I can hear the sound of a windmill going round
Cm Dm Gm
I guess I’ll always be a soldier of fortune.
Cm Dm Gm
I guess I’ll always be a soldier of fortune.
