Bruce Robison Travellin Soldier written by Bruce Robison [Intro] B E B 4x [Verse] B Two days past eighteen He was waiting for the bus in his army greens E Sat down in a booth in a cafe there B Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair B He's a little shy so she gave him a smile So he said would you mind sitting down for a while E And talking to me B I'm feeling a little low A She said I'm off in an hour E B And I know where we can go B So they went down and they sat on the pier He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care E B I got no one to send a letter to A E B Would you mind if I sent one back here to you G#m E I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy B Too young for him they told her F# Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier G#m My love will never end E Waiting for the soldier to come back again B F# Never more to be alone when the letter says B My soldiers coming home B The letters came from an army camp In California and Viet Nam E He told her of his heart It might be love B And all of the things he was so scared of B He said when it's getting kinda tough over here I think of that day sitting down at the pier E B And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile A Don't worry but E B I won't be able to write for awhile G#m E I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy B Too young for him they told her F# Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier G#m My love will never end E Waiting for the soldier to come back again B F# Never more to be alone when the letter says B My soldiers coming home B One Friday night at a football game The lords prayer said and the anthem sang E The man said Folks would you bow your head B For the list of local Viet Name dead B Crying all alone under the stands Was the picolo player in the marching band E B And one name read nobody really cared A E B But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair G#m E I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy B Too young for him they told her F# Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier G#m My love will never end E Waiting for the soldier to come back again B F# Never more to be alone when the letter says My soldiers coming G#m E I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy B Too young for him they told her F# Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier G#m My love will never end E Waiting for the soldier to come back again B F# Never more to be alone when the letter says G#m E F# B My soldiers coming home
