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:

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
