A A
Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
D D
Sat down in a booth at a café there
A A
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair

A A
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
D D A A
And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low
G G D D A A
She said I'm off in an hour 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've 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?

Gbm Gbm
I cried
D D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A A
Too young for him they told her
E E E7 E7
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
Gbm Gbm
Our love will never end
D D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A A
Never more to be alone
E E E7 E7 A A
When the letter said a soldier's coming home

A A
So the letters came from an army camp
in California, then Vietnam
D D
And he told her of his heart. It might be love
A A
And all of the things he was so scared of

A A
Said "When it's gettin kinda rough over here
I think about that day sittin' down at the pier
D D A A
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
G G D D A A
Now don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while".

Gbm Gbm
I cried
D D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A A
Too young for him they told her
E E E7 E7
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
Gbm Gbm
Our love will never end
D D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A A
Never more to be alone
E E E7 E7 A A
When the letter said a soldier's coming home

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

Gbm Gbm
I cried
D D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A A
Too young for him they told her
E E E7 E7
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
Gbm Gbm
Our love will never end
D D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A A
Never more to be alone
E E E7 E7
When the letter said a soldier's coming...

Gbm Gbm
I cried
D D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A A
Too young for him they told her
E E E7 E7
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
Gbm Gbm
Our love will never end
D D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A A
Never more to be alone
E E E7 E7 A A
When the letter said a soldier's coming home
