G Two days past eighteen He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens C9 Sat down in a booth at a cafe there G Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair G He's a little shy so she gave him a smile So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while C9 G And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low F C9 G 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 C9 G I've got no one to send a letter to F C9 G Would you mind if I sent one back here to you? Em D I cried C9 Never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier Em D Our love will never end C9 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 C9 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 C9 G And close my eyes and see your pretty smile F C9 G Now don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while Em D I cried C9 Never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier Em D Our love will never end C9 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 One Friday night at a football game The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang C9 A man said folks would you bow your heads G For the list of local Vietnam dead G Cryin' all alone under the stands Was the piccolo player in the marching band C9 G And one name read and no one really cared F C9 G But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair Em D I cried C9 Never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier Em D Our love will never end C9 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 (2X)
