Travelling Soldier - Dixie Chicks
Capo II
[Verse]
G
Two days past eighteen
G
He was waitin' for the bus in his army green
C
Sat down in a booth, in a cafe there
G
He 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 sittin' down for a while
C G
And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low
F C G
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
G
So they went down and they sat on the pier
G
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
C G
I got no one, to send a letter to
F C G
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
[Chorus]
Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D G
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home
[Verse]
G
So the letters came from an army camp
G
In California then Afghanistan
C
And he told her of his heart, it might be love
G
And all of the things that he was so scared of
G
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
G
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
C G
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
F C G
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while
[Chorus]
Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D G
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home
[Verse]
G
One Friday night at a football game
G
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
C
A man said "Folks, would you bow your head
G
To a list of local soldiers dead"
G
Cryin' all alone under the stands
G
Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band
C G
And one name read, and nobody really cared
F C G
But the pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair
[Chorus]
Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D
When the letter said, a soldier's comin'...
[Outro]
Em
I cried
C
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young, for him they told her
D
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em
Our love will never end
C
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D G
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home
