[Verse]
Am G
I have often told you stories about the way
Am Em
I lived the life of a drifter, waiting for the day
Am G
When I take your hand and sing your songs then maybe you would say
Am Em
Come lay with me and love me and I would surely stay
[Chorus]
C D Am
But I feel I'm growing older
F G C
And the songs that I have sung
E Am
Echo in the distance
G C F
Like the sound of a windmill going round
Dm Em Am
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
[Verse]
Am G
Many times I've been a traveller who looked for something new
Am Em
In days of old when nights were cold I wandered without you
Am G
Those days I thought my eyes have seen you standing near
Am Em
Though blindness is confusing, it shows that you're not here
[Chorus]
C D Am
But I feel I'm growing older
F G C
And the songs that I have sung
E Am
Echo in the distance
G C F
Like the sound of a windmill going round
Dm Em Am
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
[Outro]
C G C F
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
