Travelin Soldier [A]Aaron Lewis

Verse 1 A Two days past eighteen
He was A waitin' for the bus in his army green
Sat D down in a booth, in a cafe there
He gave his A order to a girl with a bow in her hair

Verse 2 A He's a little shy so she give him a smile
And he A said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And D talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little A low
She said I'm G off in an hour D and I know where we can go

Verse 3 So they A went down and they sat on the pier
He said I A bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I D got no one, to send a letter A to
Would you G mind if I sent D one back here A to you

Chorus
F#m I cried
D Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A Too young, for him they told her
E7 Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m Our love will never end
D Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A Never more to be alone
When the E7 letter said, a soldier's comin' A home

Verse 4 So the letAters came from an army camp
In A California then Afghanistan
And he D told her of his heart, it might be love
And A all of the things that he was so scared of

Verse 5 He A said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I A think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I D close my eyes and see your pretty A smile
G Don't worry but I won't D be able to write for A a while

Chorus

Verse 6 One A Friday night at a football game
The A Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A D man said "Folks, would you bow your head
To A a list of local soldiers dead"

Verse 7 A Cryin' all alone under the stands
Was a A piccolo player in the marchin' band
And D one name read, and nobody really A cared
But the G pretty little D girl, with a bow A in her hair

Chorus
...When the E7 letter said, a soldier's comin'...

Outro
F#m I cried
D Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A Too young, for him they told her
E7 Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m Our love will never end
D Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A Never more to be alone
When the E7 letter said, a soldier's comin' A home
