Travellin' Soldier - The Dixie Chicks
[C]

[C]Two days past 18
He was [F] waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat [C] down at a booth in a cafe [F] there, 
Gave his [Bb] order to a girl with a [F] bow in her [C] hair.
[C]He's a little shy so she [F] gives him a smile 
And he [C] said would you mind sittin' down for a [F] while 
And [C] talking to me ... I'm [F] feeling a little [C] low
She said I'm [Bb] off in an hour and [F]I know where we can [C]go.
[C]So they went down and they sat on the pier, 
he said "I [F] bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care, 
I [C] got no one... [F] to send a letter [C] to.  
Would you [Bb] mind if I sent [F] one back here to [C] you?"

[C]So the letters came from an army camp
In [F] California then Vietnam
And he [C] told his heart [F] it might be [C]love 
And [Bb] all of things [F] he was so scared [C] of. 
[C] He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I [F] think about that day sittin' down at the pier 
And [C] I close my eyes and [F] see your pretty [C] smile
Don't [Bb] worry but I won't be [F] able to write for a [C] while

|[Chorus]

[C] One Friday night at a football game
The [F] Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A [C] man said Folks .. would you [F] bow your [C] heads 
For a [Bb] list of local [F] Vietnam [C] dead. [rest for 1 bar]
 
[C] cryin' all alone under the stands 
Was a [F] piccolo player in the marching band
And [C] no-one heard and [F] no-one really [C] cared
‘Cept a [Bb]pretty little girl .. [F] with a bow in her [C] hair.
