Intro:

G+G
Two days past eighteen

He was waiting for the bus in his army green
  Cadd9Cadd9
Sat down in a booth in a café there
      G+G
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
G+G
He's a little shy so she give him a smile

And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
   Cadd9Cadd9               G+G
And talkin' to me
I'm feeling a little low
      F6sus2        Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go


Verse 1:
G+G
So they went down and they sat on the pier

He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
    Cadd9Cadd9          G+G
I've got no one to send a letter to
     F6sus2       Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?

Verse 2:

So the letters came from an army camp

In California then Vietnam
Cadd9Cadd9
And he told her of his heart
           G+G
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
G+G
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here

I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
   Cadd9Cadd9                 G+G
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
   F6sus2       Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile
