Travelin' Soldier Dixie Chicks
Wow, this is my first Tab thing, even though this one is chords...yeah anyways... I
really like this song, and it's so sad too! So of course, I spent time figuring this
song out on the guitar, and I hope you spend time and have fun learning it as well!
Good luck!
Capo on 2nd Fret

[G]Two days past 18 he was waiting for a bus in his army greens
Sat [C]down at a booth in a cafe there[G], gave his order to a girl with a bow in
