Dixie Chicks - Travelin soldier

1. ^GTwo days past eighteen he was waiting for the bus in his army greens, sat d^Cown in a booth in a café there, gave his o^Grder to a girl with a bow in her hair. 2. ^GHe's a little shy, so she gave him a smile,

and t^Calking to me, I'm feeling a little^G low." She said, &quo^Ft;I'm off in an hou^Cr, and I know where w^Ge can go." 3. ^GSo they went down and they sat on the pier,

I ^Cgot no one to send a letter^G to. Would you ^Fmind, if I sent^C one back here to ^Gyou'"

^EmI... ^Ccried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy, ^Gtoo young for him they told her, ^Dwaiting for the love of the travelin' soldier. ^EmOur love will never end, ^Cwaiting for the soldier to come back again, ^Gnever more to be alone when the ^Dletter says, my soldier's coming ^Ghome.

4. ^GSo the letters came from an army camp in California, then Vietnam, and he ^Ctold her of his heart and it might be love, and ^Gall of the things he was so scared of.

5. ^GHe said, when it's getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day sitting down at the pier. And I ^Cclose my eyes and see your pretty ^Gsmile. Don't ^Fworry, but I won't be ^Cable to write for a ^Gwhile.

^EmI... ^Ccried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy, ^Gtoo young for him they told her, ^Dwaiting for the love of the travelin' soldier. ^EmOur love will never end, ^Cwaiting for the soldier to come back again, ^Gnever more to be alone when the ^Dletter says, my soldier's coming ^Ghome.

6. ^GOne Friday night at a football game, the Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sung, a ^Cman said Folks would you bow your head for the ^Glist of local Vietnam dead.

7. ^GCrying all alone under the stands was the piccolo player in the marching band, and ^Cone name read and nobody really ^Gcared, but a p^Fretty little girl ^C with a bow in her ^Ghair.

^EmI... ^Ccried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy, ^Gtoo young for him they told her, ^Dwaiting for the love of the travelin' soldier. ^EmOur love will never end, ^Cwaiting for the soldier to come back again, ^Gnever more to be alone when the ^Dletter says, my soldier's coming ^Ghome.
