Snowy White – Soldier Of Fortune (Guitar)

Dm                 C
Soldier of fortune standing on the hillside

G                            Am
His horse was resting by the willow tree

        Dm        C         G/B              Bb
But the forces of evil were gathering in the mountains

          Am
While the village bathed in the midday sun

Dm                          C
The old men bent their backs to their labour

G                                    Am
The young maidens' laughter trickled down from the hills

        Dm
Then he rode on his horse

         C
Past the fields of destruction

G                                Am
He could hear the music from the land of the free

       Dm           C           G/B               Bb
And he tried not to look at the towers on the hillside

         Am
Standing dark against the sunrise

Dm                         C
He finally came to the gates of a castle

          G                             Am
Where the bells started ringing and the peacocks displayed

Dm        C                 G/B           Bb  Am G D/F# F Em
Ladies-in-waiting wiped the dust from his body

Dm                        C
That night he dreamed of a girl who was waiting

 G                            Am
Alone in the darkness for her soldier of fortune

Dm           C            G/B       Bb           Am               C
While he was sleeping his sword was blessed by a wandering angel

    Dm                       C
She kissed him so sweetly he thought he was dreaming

        G                      Am
But his mind was clear and his soul was free

         Dm         C               G/B          Bb    Am G D/F# F Em
And the flags waved bravely as they marched into battle

        Em                D
When he reached the sea a ship was waiting

    A                       Bm
The clouds were low and the guards were sleeping

       Em       D        A/C#           C
On the further shore his girl was waving

Bm
And his hounds came running to guide him home

Em                 D               A        Em D C B
Soldier of fortune standing on the hillside
