A A
Two days past eighteen

He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
D D
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
A A
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
A A
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile

So he said would you mind sitting down for a while
D D
And talking to me
A A
I'm feeling a little low
G G
She said I'm off in an hour
D D A A
And I know where we can go
A A
So they went down and they sat on the pier

He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
D D A A
I got no one to send a letter to
G G D D A A
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
F#m F#m D D
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A A
Too young for him they told her

C7 C7
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
F#m F#m
My love will never end

D D
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
A A C7 C7
Never more to be alone when the letter says
A A
My soldiers coming home
A A
The letters came from an army camp

In California and Viet Nam
D D
He told her of his heart and it might be love
A A
And all of the things he was so scared of
A A
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here

I think of that day sitting down at the pier
D D A A
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
G G
Don't worry but
D D A A
I won't be able to write for awhile
F#m F#m D D
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A A
Too young for him they told her
C7 C7
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
F#m F#m
My love will never end
D D
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
A A C7 C7
Never more to be alone when the letter says
A A
My soldiers coming home

SOLO

A A
One Friday night at a football game

The lords prayer said and the anthem sang
D D
The man said

Folks would you bow your head
A A
For the list of local Viet Name dead
A A
Crying all alone under the stands

Was the picolo player in the marching band

D D A A
And one name read nobody really cared
G G D D A A
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
F#m F#m D D
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A A
Too young for him they told her
C7 C7
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
F#m F#m
My love will never end
D D
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
A A C7 C7
Never more to be alone when the letter says

My soldiers coming
A A
My soldiers coming home.

The C7 part just sounds wrong with the C7.
So I found you can sub that part with Em C D G.

flag for US(ISO2) (Cumberland)
Instead of C7, it should be E followed by E7.
