Two days past 18 he was waiting for a bus in his army greens
C9 G
Sat down at a booth in a cafe there, gave his order to a girl with a bow in
her hair
G
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile and he said would you mind
C9 G
Sittin down for a while and talking to me, I'm feeling 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. Would you mind if I sent one back here
to you?"
