^{Ami G D Ami
Ami} I have often told you stories
^G about the way
^Ami I lived the life of a drifter
^Emi 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

^{D C} But I ^D feel I’m growing ^Ami older
^F and the ^G songs that I have ^C sung
^E Echo in the ^Ami distance like the ^G sound
Of a ^C windmill goin’ ^F ’round
^{Emi Dmi} I quess I’ll always ^Emi be
A soldier of ^Ami fortune

It shows that you’re not here
Now I feel I’m growing older
and the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin’ ’round
I quess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin’ ’round
I quess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune
^F I quess I’ll always ^Emi be
A soldier of ^A4 fortu ^A ne
