Dixie Chicks - Travelin soldier

^ATwo days past 18, he was waiting for a bus in his army greens, ^DSat down at a booth, at a cafe there, ^AGave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.

^AHe's a little shy, so she give him a smile, ^AAnd he said: "Would you mind sitting down for a while, And ^Dtalking to me, I'm feeling a little ^Alow?" G D A (A) She said: "I'm off in an hour, and I know where we can go."

^ASo they went down and they sat on the pier, He said: "I ^Abet you got a boyfriend but I don't care, I ^Dgot no-one to send a letter t^Ao. Would you ^Gmind if I sent ^Done back here to ^Ayou?"

^F#mI cried, I'm ^Dnever gonna hold the hand of another guy, ^A Too young for him, they told her. ^EWaiting for the love of a ^E7travelling soldier. ^F#m Our love will never end, ^DWaiting for the soldier to come back again. ^A Never more to be alone, E E7 A (A) When the letter says: A soldier's coming home.

^ASo the letters came from an army camp, In ^ACalifornia, then Vietnam. And he t^Dold her of his heart, he might be in love, And ^Aall the things he was so scared of

He ^Asaid: "When it's getting kinda rough over here, I ^Athink of that day sitting down at the peir, And I ^Dclose my eyes, and see your pretty sm^Aile, Now don't^G worry, but I won't be ^Dable to write for a ^Awhile."

^F#mI cried, I'm ^Dnever gonna hold the hand of another guy, ^A Too young for him, they told her. ^EWaiting for the love of a ^E7travelling soldier. ^F#m Our love will never end, ^DWaiting for the soldier to come back again. ^A Never more to be alone, E E7 A (A) When the letter says: A soldier's coming home.

One ^AFriday night at a football game, The ^ALord's prayer said, and the anthem sang, And a ^Dman said: "Folk's, would you bow your head, For ^Aa list of the local, Vietnam dead."

^ACrying all alone, under the stand, Was a ^Apiccolo player in the marching band. And ^Done name read, and nobody really ^Acared,

But a ^Gpretty little girl, ^Dwith a bow in her ^Ahair. Chorus:

^F#mI cried, I'm ^Dnever gonna hold the hand of another guy, ^A Too young for him, they told her. ^EWaiting for the love of a ^E7travelling soldier. ^F#m Our love will never end, ^DWaiting for the soldier to come back again. ^A Never more to be alone, When the ^Eletter says: A ^E7soldier's coming... ^F#mI cried, I'm ^Dnever gonna hold the hand of another guy, ^A Too young for him, they told her. ^EWaiting for the love of a ^E7travelling soldier. ^F#m Our love will never end, ^DWaiting for the soldier to come back again. ^A Never more to be alone, E E7 A (A) When the letter says: A soldier's coming home.
