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