Intro:        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                       Bass --         And I would surely stay                           Bass --          But I feel I’m growing older   And the songs that I have sung   Echo in the distance   Like the sound                         Bass -   Of a windmill going round   Guess I’ll always be   A soldier of fortune Solo:   / / / /           / / /    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                       Bass -- It shows that you’re not here                           Bass --          But I feel I’m growing older   And the songs that I have sung   Echo in the distance   Like the sound                         Bass -   Of a windmill going round   Guess I’ll always be   A soldier of fortune   Yes I can hear the sound                      Bass -          Of a windmill going round   I guess I’ll always be   A soldier of fortune.   I guess I’ll always be                   (major chord)      A soldier of fortune
