It's all about a Vietnam soldier going off to war
It's called Travelling Soldier
Two
[E] [A] days past 18 he was waiting for the bus and his army team sat [D] down in a booth
At a cafe [A] there gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she give him a smile and he said would you mind sitting down for a while and [D] talking to me?
Feeling a [A] little low
She said [G] I'm off in an [A] hour and I know where we [E] can go
[A] So they went down and they sat on the pier and said I bet you got I don't [D] care I got no one
Send a letter [A] to you
[G] Would you mind if I [D] send one back here [A] to you?
[F#m] I [D] cried never gonna hold a hand [A] back
Him and [E] soldier waiting for the travelling [F#m] soldier
Our love will never [E] [D] end waiting for the soldier to come back [A] again
Never hold me alone [E] when the letter said soldier [A] coming home
So the letters came from an army camp from California
Then Vietnam [D] and they told the robber sergeant he might be [A] loving all the things he was so scared of
Said when it's getting kind of rough over here think of that day sitting down at the pier
[D] And I closed my eyes to see your pretty [A] smile
[G] Don't worry but I [D] won't be able to [A] write
[F#m]
[E] I [D] cried never gonna hold a [Bm] hand back
Another [A] guy to be on
Him and [E] soldier waiting for the travelling soldier
[F#m] Our
[E] [D] love will never end waiting for the soldier to [Bm] come back [A] again
Never hold me alone [E] when the letter said soldier [A] coming home

One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A [D] man said folks would you bow your heads for [A] a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a big old old player in marching band
[D] And one name ran but nobody [A] really cared
[G] But a pretty little [D] girl with a bow [A] in her hand
[F#m] I
[E] cried [D] never gonna hold a hand [A] back
Another guy to be on
Him and [E] soldier waiting for the travelling [F#m] soldier
Our
[E] love will never end [D] waiting for the soldier to come [A] back again
Never hold me alone [E] when the letter said soldier coming [F#m] home
[D] Never gonna hold a hand [A] back
Him and soldier [E] with love on the dress of [F#m] truth
And
[E] [D] waiting for the soldier to come back [A] again
Never hold me alone [E] when the letter said soldier coming [A] home
