Travellin' Soldier - The Dixie Chicks
[C]

[C]Two days past 18
He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat [F] down at a booth in a cafe there, 
Gave his [C] order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
[C]He's a little shy so she gives him a smile 
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while 
And [F] talking to me ... I'm feeling a little [C]low
She said I'm [Bb] off in an hour and [F]I know where we can [C]go.
[C]So they went down and they sat on the pier, 
he said "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care, 
I [F] got no one... to send a letter [C] to.  
Would you [Bb]mind if I sent [F]one back here to [C]you?"

[C]So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he [F] told his heart it might be love 
And [C] all of things he was so scared of. 
He (C) Said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think about that day sittin' down at the pier 
And (F) I close my eyes and see your pretty [C] smile
Don't [Bb]worry but I won't be [F]able to write for a [C]while
|[Chorus]
[C] One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A [F] man said Folks .. would you bow your heads 
For a [C] list of local Vietnam dead. [rest for 1 bar]

[C] cryin' all alone under the stands 
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And [F] one name read and nobody really [C] cared
‘Cept a [Bb]pretty little girl .. [F]with a bow in her [C] hair.
