Travelling Soldier (Live) Chords

Up we go!
_ _ _ _ This time we're going to do a song called Travelling Soldier.
Let's hear you, let's sing [C] along.
[Dm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] Two days past eighteen, he was waiting for the bus
And his army green [Bb] slept down at night
Half-faded, [F] gave his order to the girl with a [Bb] bow in [F] her hair
She's a little shy, so she gave him a smile
He said, would you mind sitting down for a [Bb] while
I'm talking to me, I'm feeling a [F] little old
She said, [C] I'm off in [Bb] the night, I know where you're headed
[F] _ _
So _ _ _ they went down and he sat on the pier
He said, I bet you got a boyfriend, I don't [Bb] care anymore
He said, I'll let her [F] do you
[Eb] Would you mind if I [Bb] sent one back here [F] to you?
She said, _ _ I'm [Bb] never gonna hold the hand of another [F] guy to you
I hate that I told [C] her he was a lover of a travelling [Dm] soldier
I'll never ever [Bb] wait for a soldier to come back [F] again
I'm gonna be alone, [C] I'm the lover of a [Bb] second soldier
[F] _
_ _ _ _ _ So the letters came from an army camp in California
He had them [Bb] and he told her of his heart
He might be in love [F] with all of the things she was so scared of
She said, when it's getting kind of rough over here
I think of that day sitting down at the pier
And [Bb] I close my eyes and see her pretty [F] smile
_ No [Eb] one will ever know, [Bb] she ain't alive for [F] a while
She said, [Dm] _
_ I'm never [Bb] gonna hold the hand of another [F]
guy to you
I hate that [C] I told her he was a lover of a travelling [Dm] soldier
I'll never [Bb] ever wait for a soldier to come back [F] again
I'm gonna be alone, [C] I'm the lover of a second [Bb] soldier
[F] One _ _ _ _ _ _ Friday night at a football game
The guards first said, the anthem sang
[Bb] And men said, folks, would you bow your head [F] for this noble [Bb] [F] Vietnam girl
_ _ Crying _ all alone, my nervous mind was a little afraid
Heart and band and [Bb] one name, well, nobody [F] really cared
_ [Eb] Except that pretty little [Bb] girl with a [F] bow in her hair
Yes, he [Dm] said, _ I'm never [Bb] gonna hold the hand of another [F] guy to you
I hate that I told [C] her he was a lover of a travelling [Dm] soldier
I'll never ever [Bb] wait for a soldier to come back [F] again
I'm gonna be alone, [C] she said, the [A] soldier is coming
[Dm] _
I'll cry, [Bb] I'm never gonna hold the hand of another [F] guy to you
I hate that I told [C] her he was a lover [A] of a travelling [Dm] soldier
I'll never ever [Bb] wait for a soldier to come back [F] again
I'm gonna be alone, [C] I'm the lover of a [Bb] second [F] soldier _
