Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune
(Blackmore/Coverdale)
From "Stormbringer" (1974)
--------------------------------
Key:
Intro:
Gm /
F /
I have often told you stories
I have often told you stories
about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
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
Dm Bass
And I would surely stay
Gm Bass
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Eb Bass
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
Solo: / / / /
Gm /
Bb /
C /
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
Yes, I can hear the sound
Eb Bass
of a windmill going round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune.
I guess I'll always be
G (major chord)
a soldier of foRtune.
