Capo on 2nd fret
	        
   
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
