Chords for Cody Johnson Travelin' Soldier Bruce Robison Cover (Made Famous by the Dixie Chicks)

[C#] _ _ _ Two days past eighteen, he was waiting on a bus in his army green, sat [F#] down in a booth.
The [C#] cafe there gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
He's a little shy so he gave her a smile.
She said, would you mind sitting down for a while and [F#] talking to me?
I'm feeling [C#] pretty low.
_ She said, [G#m] I'm off anyway and [F#] I know a [C#] place we can go.
_ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ So they went down and sat on the pier.
He said, I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't [F#] care cause I got no one.
Sent a letter [C#] too.
_ Would [G#m] you mind if I sent [F#] one like you?
[C#] _ _ _ _ [A#m]
And I'm _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#]
sitting on the next [G#] order waiting for the challenge.
[A#] Soldier, [A#m]
arm of a never-ending, [F#] waiting for a soldier to [C#] come like a hint.
Can't wait to leave you home.
The letter says, soldier's coming home. _
_ _ _ _ _ So the letters came from an army camp in California in [F#] Vietnam.
And I'm torn of his heart, how it might [C#] be love.
And all the things he was so scared of.
He said, it's getting kind of rough over here.
I sit and think about that day on [F#] the pier and I close my eyes.
I see your pretty [C#] smile.
_ [G#m] Don't worry, but I won't [F#] be able to ride [C#] for a while.
_ _ _ [A#m]
And I [F#] cry to you, I'm gonna hold your hand.
Sent another [C#] guy too young.
And next [G#] order waiting for the challenge.
[A#] Soldier, [A#m] arm of a never-ending, [F#] waiting for a soldier to come like [C#] a hint.
Can't wait to leave you home.
[G#] The letter says, [C#] soldier's coming home.
_ _ _ _ _ _ One Friday night at a football game.
The Lord's prayer said in the anthem [F#] sang.
And a man said, folks, would you bow your head [C#] for a list of the local Vietnam dead.
_ _ _ Crying all alone underneath the stands was a piccolo player in a marching band.
[F#] And one named Red, ain't nobody really [C#] _
cared.
[G#m] Except that pretty little [F#] girl with a bow [C#] in her hair.
[A#m] _ And I cry [F#]
to _ _ [C#] you.
And next order [G#] waiting for the challenge.
[F#] [A#m] Soldier, arm of a [C#] never-ending, [F#] waiting for a soldier to come like a [C#] hint.
Can't wait to leave you home.
The letter [G#] says, [A#] soldier's coming [A#m] home.
_ [F#] _ _
_ The [C#] letter says, [G#] [C#] soldier's coming home.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The letter says, soldier's coming home. _ _ _
