G                          D
A soldier of fortune came home from war
C                           G
And wondered what he was fighting for
G                          D
This sad-eyed soldier, he broke down and cried
C                G
Oh he was so broke up inside
G
When will it end
D
When will it end
C
The bells toll
G
For those about to die    Intro SOlo

G                       D
The battle's over the war is won
C                           G
But this soldier of fortune he will carry on
G                      D
He will carry on when all hope is gone
C             G
He will carry on
G                     D
He's trained to kill and kill he will
C            G
As we march along
G               D
Singing just another soldier song
C              G
Just another soldier song
G                   D
I am a soldier of fortune
C                 G
Destined to keep on marching
G
I can hear the pipers calling
G                  D
I am a soldier of fortune
C                   G
Destined to keep on marching
G      D        C         G
I can hear the pipers calling

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.
