Chords

(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.
