Travelling Soldier Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G/BTwo days past 18, he was waitin for a bus in his army greens

Csat down in a booth, at a cafe there

 gave his oG/Brder to a girl with a bow in her hair

hes a little shy so she give him a smile

 and he said would you mind sitting down for a while, and Ctalking

 Im feeling a little G/Blow

 she said im Doff in an hour and CI know where we can G/Bgo

G/Bso they went down and they sat on the peir

he said I bet you got a boyfriend but I dont care

 Ive Cgot noone, to send a letter G/Bto

 would you mDind if I sent oCne back here to yG/Bou?

(chorus)

EmI cried, nCever gonna hold the hand of another guy,

G/Btoo young for him they told her

Dwaiting for the love of a travelling soldier

Emour love will never end, wCaiting for that soldier to come back again

G/Bnever gonna be alone

 when the leDtter said, soldiers comingG/B home,

so the letters came from an army camp, in california then veitnam

and he told her of his heart, it might be love

and all of the things he was so scared of

he said when its getting kinda rough over here

I think of that day sitting down at the pier

and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile

dont worry but I wont be able to write for a while

(chorus)

(half time)

one friday night at a football game

the lords prayer said and the anthem sang

and the man said folks, would you bow your heads

for a list of local veitnam vets

crying all alone under the stands

was a pickalo player in a marching band

and one name read, nobody really cared

except a pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair

(chorus x2)
