Travelin Soldier - The Dixie Chicks (A) (Capo 2 tpo play in A)

[Verse 1]
G
 Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
    C
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
         G
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
And he said, Would you mind sittin' down for a while
        C                                  G
And talkin' to me? I'm feelin' a little low
             F                   C                    G
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
 
 
[Verse 2]
        G
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care
     C                           G
I got no one, to send a letter to
          F                  C                 G
Would you mind if I sent aone back here to you?
 
 
[Chorus]
Em  D
  I cried
C                                       G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em                    D
  Our love will never end
    C                                     G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         D                                   G
When the letter said, A soldier's comin' home
 
 
[Verse 3]
       G
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
           C
And he told her of his heart, it might be love
       G
And all of the things he was so scared of
He said, When it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down on the pier
           C                                 G
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
      F                     C                       G
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while
 
 
[Chorus]
Em  D
  I cried
C                                       G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em                    D
  Our love will never end
    C                                     G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         D                               G
When the letter said, A soldier's comin' home

[Verse 4]
    G
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
     C
A man said, Folks, would you bow your heads
      G
For a list of local Vietnam dead?
Cryin' all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band
       C                                  G
And one name read, and nobody really cared
      F                 C                 G
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
 
 
[Chorus]
Em  D
  I cried
C                                       G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em                    D
  Our love will never end
    C                                     G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         D
When the letter said, A soldier's comin'...
Em  D
  I cried
C                                       G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em                    D
  Our love will never end
    C                                     G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         D                               G
When the letter said, A soldier's comin' home
