Travelin Soldier - The Chicks (dixie Chicks) | Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A
 Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
    D
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
         A
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
And he said, Would you mind sittin' down for a while
        D                                  A
And talkin' to me? I'm feelin' a little low
             G                   D                    A
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        A
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care
     D                           A
I got no one, to send a letter to
          G                  D                 A
Would you mind if I sent aone back here to you?

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
F#m E
  I cried
D                                       A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m                   E
  Our love will never end
    D                                     A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         E                                   A
When the letter said, A soldier's comin' home

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       A
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
           D
And he told her of his heart, it might be love
       A
And all of the things he was so scared of
He said, When it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down on the pier
           D                                 A
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
      G                     D                       A
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
F#m E
  I cried
D                                       A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m                   E
  Our love will never end
    D                                     A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         E                               A
When the letter said, A soldier's comin' home

[Verse 4]
---------------------
    A
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
     D
A man said, Folks, would you bow your heads
      A
For a list of local Vietnam dead?
Cryin' all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band
       D                                  A
And one name read, and nobody really cared
      G                 D                 A
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
F#m E
  I cried
D                                       A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m                   E
  Our love will never end
    D                                     A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         E
When the letter said, A soldier's comin'...
F#m E
  I cried
D                                       A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him, they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m                   E
  Our love will never end
    D                                     A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         E                               A
When the letter said, A soldier's comin' home
