WRITERS HAROLD AND DON REID From the album "The Statler Brother sing country symphonies in E major" [Intro] E Esus4 E Esus4 [Verse 1]
E         A                    E                
Wanda was alone at night while he was somewhere sailing

                 C#m      F#7               B7
A Navy wife with too much spare time on her hands

    E              A             E                  
His letters were a comfort and I think she really loved him

                      C#m                 B7              E
But paper words don't fill the space when someone needs a man.
[Chorus]
                            A                E
And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda

                  A                 B7
Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine

    E                A             E            A
And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia

E            A                 E        B7       E
I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time.
[Verse 2]
              A            E                
Wanda gave me everything a body ever needed

                        C#m       F#7            B7
But a body's needs will sometimes lead a soul to sin

E            A          E                  
She was only lonesome a wife on leave of duty

                 C#m         B7            E
She went down in history and probably will again.
[Chorus]
                             A                E
 And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda

                  A                 B7
Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine

    E                A             E            A
And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia

E            A                 E        B7       E
I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time.
[Outro]
             A                 E        B7       E
I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time...
