Travelin Soldier - 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 let[A]ters 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
