Deep purple - Soldier of fortune



 
Intro : Em D C Bm
      Em
I have often told you stories
D
about the way
C
I lived the life of a drifter
Bm
Waiting for the day
       Em
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
   D
Then maybe you would say
C
Come lay with me and love me
Bm                  
And I would surely stay
G       A                Em     
But I feel I'm growing older
G            A                Em
And the songs that I have sung
            C
Echo in the distance
          D
Like the sound
     Bm              Em
Of a windmill going round
C                 D
Guess I'll always be
             Em
A soldier of fortune

Solo:  Em / D / C / Bm/
    G / A / Em
 

     Em
Many times I've been a traveller
D
I looked for something new
C
In days of old when nights were cold
Bm
I wandered without you
Em
But those days I thought my eyes
   D
Had seen you standing near
C
Though blindness is confusing
Bm                  
It shows that you're not here

G       A                Em     
But I feel I'm growing older
G            A                Em
And the songs that I have sung
            C
Echo in the distance
          D
Like the sound
     Bm              Em
Of a windmill going round
C                 D
Guess I'll always be
             Em
A soldier of fortune

    G             A     
Yes, I can hear the sound
                   Em   
Of a windmill going round
  C               D
I guess I'll always be
             Em
A soldier of fortune.
  C                D   
I guess I'll always be
 Em  (major chord)
A soldier of fortune
