D
Two days past eighteen, he was waiting on the
bus in his army green
G
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there, gave his
D
order to a girl with a bow in her hair
D
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
He said would you mind sittin' down for a
G D
while, and talking to me, I'm feeling pretty low
Am7 G
She said I'm off in an hour and I know a
D
place we can go
D
So they went down and they sat on the pier,
he said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
G D
Cuz&rsquo I got no one to send a letter to
Am7 G D
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
Bm
I cried
G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
D
Too young for him they told her
A
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Bm
Our love will never end
G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
D
Never more to be alone
A D
When the letter says, a soldier's coming home
D
So the letters came from an army camp, in
California then Vietnam
G
And he told her of his heart, how it might be
D
love and all of the things he was so scared of
D
He said when it's getting kinda rough over
here, I sit and think about that day on the pier
G D
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Am7 G
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for
D
a while
Bm
I cried
G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
D
Too young for him they told her
A
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Bm
Our love will never end
G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
D
Never more to be alone
A D
When the letter says, a soldier's coming home
D
One Friday night at a football game, the
Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
G
A man said folks would you bow your head, for
D
a list of local Vietnam dead
D
Cryin&rsquo all alone underneath the stands, was
the piccolo player in the marching band
G D
And one name read and nobody really cared
Am7 G
Except that pretty little girl with a bow in
D
her hair
Bm
I cried
G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
D
Too young for him they told her
A
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Bm
Our love will never end
G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
D
Never more to be alone
