Travelin Soldier

my first tab : ) enjoy Cadd9 : either x32030 or 335533 G two days past 18 he was waitin’ for the bus in his army greens Cadd9 sat down in a booth at a cafe there G gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair he’s a little shy so she gave him a smile so he said would you mind sittin’ down for a while Cadd9 G and talkin’ to me i’m feelin’ a little low A C she said i’m off in an hour 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’ve got no one to send a letter to A C would you mind if i sent one back here to you? Chorus : Em i cried C G never gonna hold the hand of another guy too young for him they told her D waitin’ for the love of the travelin’ soldier Em our love will never end C G waitin’ for the soldier to come back again never more to be alone D G when the letter says a soldier’s coming home G so the letters came from an army camp in california then vietnam Cadd9 and he told his heart it might be love G 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 Cadd9 G and close my eyes and see your pretty smile A C G now don’t worry but i won’t be able to write for a while Chorus G [ strum once then mute ] one friday night at a football game G the lord’s prayer said and the anthem sang Cadd9 G a man said folks would you bow your heads [ don’t strum ] [ pause ] for the list of local vietnam dead G cryin’ all alone under the stands was the piccolo player in the marching band Cadd9 G and none name read , nobody really cared A C but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair Chorus [ twice ]
