Travelin' Soldier Chords

  			( Bruce Robison )  
  
  
G  
Two days past eighteen  
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens  
C9  
Sat down in a booth at a cafe there  
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair  
G 
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile  
So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while  
    C9			               G  
And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low  
	      D		        C9		    G  
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go  
  
So they went down and they sat on the pier  
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care  
I've got no one to send a letter to  
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?  
  
Em     
I cried 
C9  
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy  
G  
Too young for him they told her  
D                           
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier  
Em  
Our love will never end  
C9  
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again  
G  
Never more to be alone  
D					G  
When the letter says a soldier's coming home  
  
So the letters came  
From an army camp  
In California then Vietnam  
And he told his heart  
It might be love  
And all of the things he was so scared of  
Said when it's gettin kinda rough over here  
I think about that day sittin' down at the pier  
And close my eyes and see your pretty smile  
Now don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while  
  
CHORUS  
  
One Friday night at a football game  
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang  
A man said folks would you bow your heads  
For the list of local Vietnam dead  
Cryin' all alone under the stands  
Was the piccolo player in the marching band  
And one name read and no one really cared  
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair  
  
CHORUS
