A couple of things before we go.
This one is the only one in the evening which I had no part in writing.
I had a little part in helping to arrange it, but I didn't write it.
It was written by David Cavanale and Richard Blackmore, both of whom wrote this song.
And I thought they wrote a beautiful song.
And it's called Soldier of Fortune.
Wow!
[Am]
[Em]
[D] [Am]
I have often told you stories [G] about the way
I [Am] live by the river,
[Em] waiting for the day
[Am] When I take your hand and sing you [G] songs and maybe you would say
[Am] Come lay with me and love [Em] me, I would surely stay
[C] [D] But the river flows [Am] no more [G] [F] and [G] the songs that I have [C] sung
[E] They're queries, [Am] [G] like the sun, [C] of the wind, blue and [F] brown
I [Dm] guess I'll always [Em] be a soldier [Am] of fortune
Do [D] [Am]
[D] [Am]
[C] [D]
[Am] you need time to feel bad, [G] or to suffer new
[Am]
Days are long and nights are cold, [Em] I wonder if they're as you
[Am] That was me, then you're all I've ever seen
[G] There's me here, [Am] who I like to confuse
[Em] So then you're here
[C]
But [D] the river [Am] flows no more and [G] [F]
[G] the songs that I have [C] sung
[E] They're queries, [Am] like the [G] sun, of [C] the wind, blue and [F] brown
[C] [Dm] I guess I'll always [Em] be a soldier [Am] of fortune
[G] [C] I [F]
[E] [Dm] guess I'll always [Em] be a soldier of [Am] fortune
I [F] guess I'll [Em] always be a soldier of [A]
fortune

You guys read.
You will feel so wonderful.
You're gonna all like it.
I have to tell you that this, in the two days that I've been here with Martin and with you
and with Christy and Kaska, I have had a marvellous two days in your lovely city
mainly because how wonderful this orchestra is.
They are your orchestra.
Support it.
I've finished talking for the night, I'm going to just play now.
And this is the last one we're going to do.
I couldn't go home without playing.
So from the bottom of my heart, not just for tonight, but for all these many years
which have been for me a life beyond belief
and thank you so much for your part in it.
I will see you I hope somewhere down the road again.
