Travelin' Soldier 
Bruce Robison 

G  Cadd9  G 4x 

G 
Two days past eighteen 

He was waiting for the bus in his army greens 
     Cadd9 
Sat down in a  booth in a cafe there 
         G 
Gave his order to a 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 sitting down for a while 
    Cadd9 
And talking to me 
                      G 
I'm feeling a little low 
              F 
She said I'm off in an hour  
Cadd9                    G 
And I know where we can go 
        G 
So they went down and they sat on the pier 

He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care 
  Cadd9                         G 
I got no one to send a letter to 
          F              Cadd9              G            
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you 

Em C I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier Em My love will never end C Waiting for the soldier to come back again G D Never more to be alone when the letter says G My soldiers coming home
G The letters came from an army camp In California and Viet Nam Cadd9 He told her of his heart It might be love G And all of the things he was so scared of G He said when it's getting kinda tough over here I think of that day sitting down at the pier Cadd9 G And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile F Don't worry but Cadd9 G I won't be able to write for awhile Chorus Solo (play verse) G One Friday night at a football game The lords prayer said and the anthem sang Cadd9 The man said Folks would you bow your head G... For the list of local Viet Name dead *(pause)* G Crying all alone under the stands Was the picolo player in the marching band Cadd9 G And one name read nobody really cared F Cadd9 G But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair Chorus Last Chorus: Em C I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier Em My love will never end C Waiting for the soldier to come back again G D Never more to be alone when the letter says Em Cadd9 D G My soldiers coming home
