    Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune

    Uploaded by

    Portgas D Fikri
    This song tells the story of a drifter who travels from place to place, singing songs and waiting for the day he can settle down with a love. While he feels himself growing older, the songs he has sung echo in the distance like a windmill turning, and he knows he will always be a soldier of fortune who wanders without a home.

    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.
