Chords for Dixie Chicks - Traveling Soldier

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Two days past eighteen he was waiting for the bus and his army green [D] sat down in a cafe there
[A] Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile and he said would you mind sitting down for a while and talking to me
I'm feeling a little [Am] low
_ She [G] said I'm off in an hour [D] and I know where we [A] can go _ _ _ _
_ _ So they walked on in and sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't [D] care I got no one
So send a letter [A] to
_ _ [G] Would you mind if I [D] sent one back here [A] to you
_ _ [F#m] I _ [D] cried never gonna _ _ [A] wait another day
So him and his [E] soldier waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Our love will never [D] end waiting for the soldier to come back [A] again
Never more be alone [E] when the letter says a soldier's [A] coming home _ _
_ _ Wrote a letter he's came from an army camp in California then Vietnam [D] and he told her of his heart
It might be [A] love in all of the things he was so scared of
Except when it's getting kind of rough over here
I think of that day sitting down at the pier and [D] I close my eyes and see her pretty smile
_ _ [G] Don't worry but I won't [D] be able to write for [A] a while
_ _ [F#m] I cried [D] never gonna hold the hand of a [A] guy
So him and his soldier [E] waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Our love will never [D] end waiting for the soldier to come back [A] again
Never more be alone [E] when the letter says a soldier's coming [A] home _ _ _

_ _ One Friday night at a football game the Lord's prayer said in the anthem sang a man said folks
Would you bow your heads for a list of local Vietnam dead _ _ _
Crying all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in a marching [D] band and one named Red
And nobody [A] really cares [G] but a pretty little [D] girl [A] bowing her _ head
[F#m]
I _ [D] cried never gonna hold the hand of a [A] guy
So him and his [E] soldier waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Our love will never [D] end waiting for the soldier to come back [A] again
Never more be alone [E] when the letter says a soldier's [A] coming home
