Travelin Soldier chords by Aaron Lewis

Verse 1:

A
 Two days past eighteen

       A
He was waitin' for the bus in his army green

     D
Sat down in a booth, in a cafe there

            A
He gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair


Verse 2:

A
He's a little shy so she give him a smile

      A
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while

    D                                  A
And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low

            G                 D
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go


Verse 3:

         A
So they went down and they sat on the pier

         A
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care

  D                          A
I got no one, to send a letter to

        G              D          A
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you


Chorus:

Gbm
 I cried

D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

A
Too young, for him they told her

E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Gbm
Our love will never end

D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

A
Never more to be alone

         E                             A
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home


Verse 4:

         A
So the letters came from an army camp

   A
In California then Afghanistan

        D
And he told her of his heart, it might be love

    A
And all of the things that he was so scared of


Verse 5:

   A
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here

   A
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier

       D                              A
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile

G                       D                    A
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while


Chorus:

Gbm
I cried

D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

A
Too young, for him they told her

E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Gbm
Our love will never end

D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

A
Never more to be alone

        E                               A
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home


Verse 6:

    A
One Friday night at a football game

    A
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang

  D
A man said "Folks, would you bow your head

   A
To a list of local soldiers dead"


Verse 7:

A
Cryin' all alone under the stands

      A
Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band

   D                                A
And one name read, and nobody really cared

        G              D              A
But the pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair


Chorus:

Gbm
I cried

D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

A
Too young, for him they told her

E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Gbm
Our love will never end

D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

A
Never more to be alone

         E
When the letter said, a soldier's comin'...


Outro:

Too young, for him they told her

E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Gbm
Our love will never end

D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

A
Never more to be alone

         E                             A
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home
