A
Two days past 18, he was waiting for the bus in his army greens
    D                                          A
Sat down at a booth in a cafe there, gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
A
He's a little shy so she give him a smile and he said would you mind
                              D                                   A
Sittin' down for a while and talking to me, I'm feeling a little low
             G                  D                    A
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go


        A
So they went down and they sat on the pier, he said "I bet you got a boyfriend but I
              D                            A              G              D                A
don't care, I got no one to send a letter to.  Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?"


Gbm
I cried
 D                                     A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

Too young, for him they told her
 E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Gbm
Our love will never end
 D                                      A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone
          E                               A
When the letter says, a soldier's coming home


        A
So the letters came from an army camp, in California then Vietnam
        D                                          A
And he told her of his heart, it might be love and all of things he was so scared of
    A
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here, I think of that day
                                D                                 A
Sittin' down at the pier and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
       G                    D                   A
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while


Gbm
I cried
 D                                     A

          E                               A

One Friday night at a football game, the Lord's Prayer said and the anthem
         D                                             A
sang, a man said folks would you bow your heads for a list of local Vietnam dead
 A
Cryin' all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band
    D                                A
And one name read and nobody really cared
       G                D               A
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair



Gbm
I cried
 D                                     A
