[Gm] [Dm]
[C] [Gm]
I have often told you stories [F] about the way
I [Gm] lived a life of a crypter, [Dm] waiting for the day
[Gm] When I'd take your hand and sing you [F] songs
And maybe you would say
[Gm] Come lay with me and love me
[Dm] And I would surely stay
[Bb] [C] But I feel I'm [Gm] growing older
[Eb] And [F] the songs that [Bb] I have [D] sung
Have to [Gm] end the distance
[F] Like the sound [Bb] of a wheel [Eb] pulling round
I [Gm] [Cm] guess I'll [Dm] always be a [Gm] soldier of fortune
[C]
[Gm] [C]
[Gm] [Bb]
[C] [Gm]
Many times I've been a traveler
[F] I looked for something new
[Gm] In days of old when nights were [Dm] cold
I wandered without [Gm] you
Those days I thought my [F] eyes had seen you standing near
[Gm] Though blindness is confusing
[Dm]
It shows that you're not [Bb] here
[C] Now I feel [Gm] I'm growing older
[Eb] And [F] the songs that [Bb] I have sung
[D] Echo [Gm] in the distance
[F] Like the sound [Bb] of a windmill [Eb] going round
[Gm] [Cm] I guess I'll [Dm] always be [Gm] a soldier of fortune
Like the [F] sound [Bb] of a windmill [Eb] going round
[Cm] I guess I'll [Dm] always be a [Gm] soldier of fortune
[Eb]
I guess I'll always [Dm] be a [G] soldier of fortune
[N]
