Traveling Soldier: Dixie chicks


G
Two  days past 18  he was waiting for a bus in his army greens 
    Cadd9                              G
Sat down at a booth in a cafe there, gave his order to a girl with a bow in
 
her hair
G
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile and he said would you mind 
                            Cadd9                                   G
Sittin down for a while and talking to me, I'm feeling a little low
            F                   Cadd9                    G
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go

G
So they went down and they sat on the pier he said "I bet you got a boyfriend

but I don't care
Cadd9                           G
I've got no one to send a letter to.  Would you mind if I sent one back here

 to you?"



Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her 
D
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D                                        G
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home


G
So the letters came from an army camp, in California then Vietnam
         Cadd9                                      G
And he told her of his heart, might be lovin all of things he was so

scared of
G
He said when things were getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day 
                              Cadd9                                 G
Sittin down at the pier and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
      F                    Cadd9                  G
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while




Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her 
D
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D                                        G
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home



    G
One Friday night at a football game, the Lord's prayer said and the anthem 
       Cadd9                                            G
sang a man said folks would you bow your head for a list of local Vietnam 

dead
G
Cryin all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band
    Cadd9                               G
And one name read and nobody really cared
      F                 Cadd9                  G
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair



Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her 
D
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D                                        G
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home

Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her 
D
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D                                        G
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home
