This song by Deep Purple , I don't know why , but I just simply love it .. Both the music and the lyrics .. Those who had a terrible love or a 1 sided love , guess this song shld be beautiful to ya ... Well , since i aint no pro , so i tried playin in an easier way and I got it to this way .. Sounds similar , so guess it shouldn't be a prob So yeah , here it goes ... (you really got to listen to the song for the timing of changing chords, its a lil bit complicated) Code: Am G I have often told you stories about the way Am Em I live the life of a drifter, waiting for the days Am G when i take your hand and sing you songs than maybe you would say Am Em Come lay with me and love me, I would surely stay C G Am F G C E But i feel i'm growing older, and the songs that i have sung echoed Am G C F in the distance like the sound of a windmill going round, Dm E Am guess i'll always be a soldier of fortune. -------- Many times I've been a traveller, looked for something new in days of old when nights were cold, i wandered without you Those days my eyes had seen you standing near, though blindness is confusing i showed that you're not here. Hope it helped ... Comments on improvement of the song is definately welcomed Cheerz :beer:

hmm yeah bro , heard about that the song does start with a Gm , but i aint good with barre chords .. I'm still practicin in getting those right .. would it be possible for u to record your way of playing ? I can use it as a guide .. coz my barre chords doesn't sound like music at all .. it sounds very dead .. I've really no idea how to make the barre chords sound as nice as open chords..
ok seelan seems like u having some problem there with barred chords and all , ok i've tabbed a rather simple "intro" and "solo" of "soldier of fortune" (although won't be saying that's it's gonna sound like exactly like the real one) as this on is especially for you, try it out and to hold the barred chords.. as u gonna progress u gonna be just fine with it...i'll make a rather easy key note for you.. but for right now.. i'm giving you out the intro and solo of this beautiful song for you brother it's very easy.. try urself ... enjoy.. (and mind it.. my work is not copy and pasted) and not even that it's on original scale that is "Gm" .. intro --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------10---11----13/15----13h15p13----/11---11h13---13--11--11--10--11---11--10--11--10------- -----12---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- solo :- --------------------------------------------------------13--15-15--15-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------11--11/13-13-13--13/15------------------13--11--13/15--13/11--11-11-10-11-10------------ ---10--10/12--12-12---12-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12-------- -12--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darn this screen messed up the whole.. intro and solo.. anyways let me.. attach my file now .. enjoy..
zing : you need a comp mic to record and you can just download any free recording software like pocketvoice recorder for recording and saving it if u dont hv a comp mic , you can just use a headphone (connect it to the mic port instead of the phones port , sound maybe softer and unclear) .. Cheerz knight_guitar : thanks a mil buddy Appreciate that .. was cool ... Cheerzz

zing the recording's great there's some noise but i think its cause ur playin on an acoustic,so its pretty natural.good vocals too.very neat on the playing part.
