Travelling Soldier

hey guys , the strumming is just like the song and these are the chords that i
think sound correct : ) enjoy!
G
two days past 18 , he was waitin for a bus in his army greens
Cadd9
sat down in a booth , at a cafe there
G
gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair

hes a little shy so she give him a smile
Cadd9
and he said would you mind sitting down for a while , and talking
G
im feeling a little low
D Cadd9 G
she said im off in an hour and i know where we can go

G
so they went down and they sat on the peir

he said i bet you got a boyfriend but i dont care
Cadd9 G
ive got noone , to send a letter to
D Cadd9 G
would you mind if i sent one back here to you?

( chorus )
Em D
i cried , never gonna hold the hand of another guy ,
Cadd9
too young for him they told her
G
waiting for the love of a travelling soldier
Em D
our love will never end , waiting for that soldier to come back again
Cadd9
never gonna be alone
D G
when the letter said , soldiers coming home ,

so the letters came from an army camp , in california then veitnam

and he told her of his heart , it might be love

and all of the things he was so scared of

he said when its getting kinda rough over here

i think of that day sitting down at the pier

and i close my eyes and see your pretty smile

dont worry but i wont be able to write for a while

( chorus )

( softer strumming )

one friday night at a football game

the lords prayer said and the anthem sang

and the man said folks , would you bow your heads

for a list of local veitnam dead

crying all alone under the stands

was a pickalo player in a marching band

and one name read , nobody really cared

except a pretty little girl , with a bow in her hair

( chorus x2 )
