Travelin' Soldier Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

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

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

[Chorus 1]
[Em]I crie[D]d
[C]Never gonna hold the hand of an[D]other [G]guy
Too young, for him they told her
[D]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Em]Our love will never end[D]
[C]Waitin' for the soldier to come [D]back again
[G]Never more to be alone
When the [D]letter said, a soldier's comin' [G]home

[Verse 3]
So the [G]letters came from an army camp
In California then Afghanistan
And he [C]told her of his heart, it might be love
And [G]all of the things
that he was so scared of
[G]Said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I [C]close my eyes
and see your pretty [G]smile
Don't [F]worry
but I won't [C]a ble to write for a w[G]hile

[Chorus 2]
[Em]I crie[D]d
[C]Never gonna hold the hand of an[D]other [G]guy
Too young, for him they told her
[D]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Em]Our love will never end[D]
[C]Waitin' for the soldier to come [D]back again
[G]Never more to be alone
When the [D]letter said, a soldier's comin' [G]home

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

[Chorus 3]
[Em]I crie[D]d
[C]Never gonna hold the hand of an[D]other [G]guy
Too young, for him they told her
[D]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Em]Our love will never end[D]
[C]Waitin' for the soldier to come [D]back again
[G]Never more to be alone
When the [D]letter said, a soldier's comin'
[Em]I crie[D]d
[C]Never gonna hold the hand of an[D]other [G]guy
Too young, for him they told her
[D]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Em]Our love will never end[D]
[C]Waitin' for the soldier to come [D]back again
[G]Never more to be alone
When the [D]letter said, a soldier's comin' [G]home
