Here's the video i learned this song from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9F6SwvVvQ0 capo 2 standard tuning Traveling Soldier: Dixie chicks G Two days past 18 he was waiting for a bus in his army greens Cadd9 G Sat down at a booth in a cafe there, gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair G He's a little shy so she gives him a smile and he said would you mind Cadd9 G Sittin down for a while and talking to me, I'm feeling a little low F Cadd9 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 he said "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care Cadd9 G I've got no one to send a letter to. Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?" 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 letters said, a soldiers coming home G So the letters came from an army camp, in California then Vietnam Cadd9 G And he told her of his heart, might be lovin all of things he was so scared of G He said when things were getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day Cadd9 G Sittin down at the pier and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile F Cadd9 G Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while 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 letters said, a soldiers coming home G One Friday night at a football game, the Lord's prayer said and the anthem Cadd9 G sang a man said folks would you bow your head for a list of local Vietnam dead G Cryin all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band Cadd9 G And one name read and nobody really cared F Cadd9 G But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair 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 letters said, a soldiers coming home 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 letters said, a soldiers coming home
