Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune (Blackmore/Coverdale) "Stormbringer" (1974) [Intro] Gm Dm C Gm [Verse] Gm 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 And I would surely stay [Chorus] Bb C Gm But I feel I'm growing older Eb F Bb And the songs that I have sung D Gm Echo in the distance F Like the sound Bb Eb 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 [Verse] Gm Many times I've been a traveller F I looked for something new Gm In days of old when nights were cold Dm I wandered without you Gm But those days I thought my eyes F Had seen you standing near Gm Though blindness is confusing Dm It shows that you're not here. [Chorus] Bb C Gm But I feel I'm growing older Eb F Bb And the songs that I have sung D Gm Echo in the distance F Like the sound Bb Eb Of a windmill going round Cm Dm Guess I'll always be Gm A soldier of fortune. Gm F Yes, I can hear the sound Bb Eb of a windmill going round Cm Dm I guess I'll always be Gm a soldier of fortune. Eb Dm7 I guess I'll always be G a soldier of fortune.
