 (Blackmore/Coverdale)
 From "Stormbringer" (1974)
 --------------------------------
 Key: Gm
 
 Intro: Gm / F / Eb
 
         Gm
 I have often told you stories
 
 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
 
 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
          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.
