Travelin' Soldier Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Two days [G]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

[Verse 2]
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 go
[G]

[Verse 3]
So they 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 [G]here to you

[Verse 4]
[Em]
I [D]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' [Em]soldier
Our love will never [D]end
[C]Waitin' for the soldier to
come back [G]again
Never more to be alone
When [D]the letter said,
a soldier's comin' home
[G]

[Verse 5]
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Afghanistan
[D]And he tol[C]d her of his heart,
it might be love
And [G]all of the things that he
was so scared of

[Verse 6]
[G]He 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 be
[C]able to write for a while
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
I [D]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' [Em]soldier
Our love will never [D]end
Wait[C]in' for the soldier to
come back [Am]again[G]
Never more to be alone
When the [D]letter said,
a soldier's comin' home
[G]

[Verse 8]
One Friday night at a football
game
The Lord's Prayer said and
the anthem sang
A man [C]said "Folks,
would you bow your head
To [G]a list of local soldiers dead"

[Verse 9]
[G]
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 [F]the pretty little girl,
[C]with a bow in her[G] hair

[Verse 10]
[Em]
I [D]cried
[C]Never gonna hold the hand
of another [G]guy
Too young, for him they told [D]her
Waitin' for the love of
a travelin' [Em]soldier
Our love will never [D]end
[C]Waitin' for the soldier to
come back [G]again
Never more to be alone
[D]When the letter said,
a soldier's [Em]comin'

[Verse 11]
[Em]I cr[D]ied
[C]Never gonna hold the hand of another [Am]guy
[G]Too young, for him they told her[C]
[D]Waitin' for the love of
a travelin' [Em]soldier
Our love will never [D]end
[C]Waitin' for the soldier to
come back [G]again
Never more to be alone
When [D]the letter said,

[Outro 1]
a soldier's comin' home
[G]
[C]
[G][C]
