Travelin Soldier * - The Chicks

[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
[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 (A)go

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

[A]So the letters came from an army camp
In [A]California then Vietnam
And he [D]told her of his heart, it might be love
And [A]all of the things that he was so scared of
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]

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"
[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

|[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'...
[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
