1. I have [Gm] often told you stories [F] about the way
I [Gm] lived the life of a drifter [Dm] waiting for the day
When I’d [Gm] take your hand and sing you songs then [F] maybe you would say
[Gm] Come lay with me and love me [Dm] and I would surely stay

Chorus: [Bb] But I [C] feel I’m growing [Gm] older
[Eb] And the [F] songs that I have [Bb] sung [D] echo in the [Gm] distance
Like the [F] sound Of a [Bb] windmill going [Eb] round
[Cm] Guess I’ll always [Dm] be a soldier of [Gm] fortune

[Gm] [C] [Gm] [C] [Gm] [Bb] [C] [Gm]

2. Many [Gm] times I’ve been a traveller I [F] looked for something new
In days of [Gm] old when nights were cold [Dm] I wandered without you
[Gm] But those days I thought my eyes [F] Had seen you standing near
[Gm] Though blindness is confusing [Dm] It shows that you’re not here

Chorus: [Bb] But I [C] feel I’m growing [Gm] older
[Eb] And the [F] songs that I have [Bb] sung [D] echo in the [Gm] distance
Like the [F] sound Of a [Bb] windmill going [Eb] round
[Cm] Guess I’ll always [Dm] be a soldier of [Gm] fortune

Yes, [Gm] I can hear the [F] sound of a [Bb] windmill going [Eb] round
I [Cm] guess I’ll always [Dm] be a soldier of [Gm] fortune
I [Eb] guess I’ll always [Dm7] be a soldier of [G] fortune
