Travellin Soldier  Dixie Chicks



[G]Two days past 18
[G]He was waiting for a bus in his army greens,
[C]Sat down at a booth, at a cafe there
[G]Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
[G]He's a little shy, so she give him a smile,
[G]And he said "Would you mind sitting down for a while,
[C]And talking to me, I'm feeling a little
[G]low?"
[F]She said "I'm off in an hour, [C]and I know where we can [G]go."
[G]                                     
Chorus:

[Em]I cried
[C]I'm never gonna hold the hand of another guy,
[G]"too young, for him!" they told her
[D]Waiting for the love of a travelling soldier,
[Em]Our love will never end,
[C]Waiting for the soldier to come back again,
[G]Never more to be alone,
[D]When the letter says " A soldier is coming
[G]Home"
[G]                                     
Verse 2:
[G]So the letters came from an army camp,
[G]In california, then Viet-Nam,
[C]And he told her of his heart: He might be in love,
[G]And all the things he was so scared of

[G]He said "When it's getting kinda rough over here,
[G]I think of that day sitting down at the peir,
[C]And I close my eyes, and see your pretty
[G]Smile,

[F]Now don't worry, but I won't be [C]able to write for a [G]while.
[G]                                     
Chorus:

[Em]I cried
[C]I'm never gonna hold the hand of another guy,
[G]"too young, for him!" they told her
[D]Waiting for the love of a travelling soldier,
[Em]Our love will never end,
[C]Waiting for the soldier to come back again,
[G]Never more to be alone,
[D]When the letter says " A soldier is coming
[G]Home"

[G]One friday night at a football game,
[G]The lord's prayer said, and the anthem sang,
[C]And a man said "Folk's, would you bow your head,

[G]Crying all alone, under the stand,
[G]Was a piccolo player in the marching band
[C]And one name read, and nobody really

[G]
