Gm
I have often told you stories
F
About the way
Gm
I lived the life of a drifter
Dm
Waiting for the day
Gm
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
F
Then maybe you would say
Gm
Come lay with me and love me
Dm
And I would surely stay

Bb       C                Gm   
But I feel I'm growing older
 F                B
And the songs that I have sung
D            Gm
Echo in the distance
F
Like the sound
  B               Eb  
Of a windmill going round
Cm                Dm
Guess I'll always be
Gm
A soldier of fortune.

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

Now I feel I'm going older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Eb             F
Yes, I can hear the sound
  B            Eb
of a windmill going round
Cm               Dm
I guess I'll always be
Gm
a soldier of fortune.
Eb         F
I guess I'll always be
G
A soldier of fortune.

Текст песни:

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I’d take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I’m growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune.

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

Now I feel I’m going older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune

Yes, I can hear the sound
of a windmill going round
I guess I’ll always be
a soldier of fortune.
I guess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune.
