Soldier of Fortune
(Blackmore/Coverdale)
From "Stormbringer", 1974
Am G
I have often told you stories about the way
Am Em
I lived the life of a drifter, waiting for the day
Am G
When I take your hand and sing your songs, then maybe you would say Am
Em
Come lay with me and love me, and I would surly stay
C D Am
But I feel I''m growing older
F G C
And the songs that I have sung
E Am
Echo in the distance
G C F
Like the sound of a windmill going round
Dm Em Am
I guess I''ll always be a soldier of fortune

Many times I''ve been a traveler who looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold I wandered without you
Those days I thought my eyes have seen you standing near
ґThough blindness is confusing it shows that you''re not here
C D Am
And I feel I''m growing older
F G C
And the songs that I have sung
E Am
Echo in the distance
G C F
Like the sound of a windmill going round
Dm Em Am
I guess I''ll always be a soldier of fortune
C G C F
I can hear the sound of a windmill going round
Dm Em Am
I guess I''ll always be a soldier of fortune
Dm Em A
I guess I''ll always be a soldier of fortune
