C D Yes, I can hear the sound G C B of a windmill going round Am Bm I guess Ill always be Em a soldier of fortune. I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune (x2). Chorus G A Em Now I feel Im going older C D G And the songs that I have sung B Em Echo in the distance D Like the sound G C B Of a windmill going round Am Bm Guess Ill always be Em A soldier of fortune. Now I feel I'm growing older And only songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round Then I threw it all away Im a prince of illusions All spinning around in my brain Theres a mockingbird calling And this is what hes saying Girl stop rockin Youre driving me insane Im going out of my mind And I wont be. A soldier of fortune 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 thougt my eyes Had seen you standing near Though blindness is confusing It shows that you're not here Now I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like. Im a soldier of fortune An ambassador of pain I had the world on a string. Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new In days of old When nights were cold I wandered without you Those days I thought my eyes Had seen you standing near Though blindness is confusing It shows that you're not here We can just call this a mission of mercy but the soldier of fortune should fall (I'll follow my dreams) I already know it's a rough row to hoe But I can't let go I've been almost so close a few times My sights are all set it's my chance to get Somethin' better than whatever it is that I'm leavin' behind Chasin' the brass rein. Lyrics for Soldier of Fortune by Bryan Ferry. Now I feel I'm growing older And only songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune 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 love me And I would surely stay you are at : home > Deep Purple Lyrics > Soldier of Fortune Lyrics.
