 Gm
I have often told you stories
I have often told you stories
 F
 about the way
 Gm
I lived the life of a drifter
 Dm
   waiting for the day
 Gm
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
 F
Then maybe you would say
 Gm
 Come lay with me and love me
 DmBassD-C-Bb
   And I would surely stay 
 BbCGmBassG-F-Eb
   But I feel I'm growing older  
 FBb
  And the songs that I have sung
 DGm
  Echo in the distance
 F
  Like the sound
 BbEbBassEb-D
  Of a windmill going round  
 CmDm
  Guess I'll always be
 Gm
  A soldier of fortune.

                        Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here.
Now I feel I'm going older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
 EbF
  Yes, I can hear the sound
 BbEbBassEb-D
  of a windmill going round 
 CmDm
  I guess I'll always be
 Gm
  a soldier of fortune.
 EbF
  I guess I'll always be
G (major chord)
a soldier of foRtune.
