Soldier Of Fortune(Chords)

	        
Intro: Gm   F   Eb 

        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                      Bass D-C-Bb      
  And I would surely stay 
Bb       C                Gm   Bass G-F-Eb       
  But I feel I'm growing older 
            F                Bb  
  And the songs that I have sung 
   D            Gm 
  Echo in the distance 
             F   
  Like the sound 
        Bb              Eb  Bass Eb-D 
  Of a windmill going round 
  Cm                Dm 
  Guess I'll always be 
                Gm 
  A soldier of fortune 
Solo:  Gm / C / Gm / C /  
       Gm / Bb / C / Gm  
         
        Gm 
Many times I've been a traveller 
F 
I looked for something new 
   Gm  
In days of old when nights were cold 
Dm 
I wandered without you 
   Gm  
But those days I thought my eyes 
      F 
Had seen you standing near 
Gm  
Though blindness is confusing 
Dm                      Bass D-C-Bb 
It shows that you're not here 

Bb       C                Gm   Bass G-F-Eb       
  But I feel I'm growing older 
            F                Bb  
  And the songs that I have sung 
   D            Gm 
  Echo in the distance 
             F   
  Like the sound 
        Bb              Eb  Bass Eb-D 
  Of a windmill going round 
  Cm                Dm 
  Guess I'll always be 
                Gm 
  A soldier of fortune 
       Eb             F          
  Yes, I can hear the sound 
         Bb           Eb Bass Eb-D       
  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  (major chord)   
  A soldier of fortune
