G
Two days past eighteenHe was waiting for the bus in his army green
Cadd9 Sat down in a booth in a cafe there G Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said, "Would you mind sittin' down for a while
Cadd9 G And talking to me?
I'm feeling a little low."
F Cadd9 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
Cadd9 I got no one to send a letter to G F Cadd9 G Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
[Chorus:]
Em I cried C Never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Em Our love will never end C Waitin' for the soldier to come back again G D Never more to be alone when the letter said G A soldier's coming home G So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
Cadd9 And he told her of his heart G It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said, "When it's getting kinda rough over here,
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier.
Cadd9 G And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile. F Cadd9 G Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile."
[Chorus]
Em I cried C Never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Em Our love will never end C Waitin' for the soldier to come back again G D Never more to be alone when the letter said G A soldier's coming home G One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
Cadd9 A man said, "Folks would you bow your heads G For a list of local Vietnam dead."
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
Cadd9 G And one name read but nobody really cared F Cadd9 G But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[Chorus 2x]
Em I cried C Never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Em Our love will never end C Waitin' for the soldier to come back again G D Never more to be alone when the letter said G A soldier's coming home Em I cried C Never gonna hold the hand of another guy G Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Em Our love will never end C Waitin' for the soldier to come back again G D Never more to be alone when the letter said G A soldier's coming home
