Key: Eb Intro: D Verse 1: D Two days past eighteen D He was waitin' on a bus in his army greens G Sat down in a booth in a cafe there D Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair D He's a little shy so she give him a smile D And he said, "Would you mind sittin' down for a while Em D And talkin' to me? I'm feelin' pretty low" Em D She said "I'm off in an hour and I know a place we can go"
Verse 2: D So they went down and sat on the pier D He said "I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care G D Cause I got no one, to send a letter to C G D Would you mind if I sent one back here to you " Chorus: Bm I cried G And never gonna hold the hand of another guy D "Too young for him," they told her A Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Bm Our love will never end G Waitin' for the soldier to come back again D Nevermore to be alone A D When the letter says, "A soldier's comin' home" Verse 3: D So the letters came from an army camp D In California then Vietnam G And he told her of his heart, it might be love D All of the things he was so scared of D He said, "When it's gettin' kinda rough over here D I sit and think about that day on the pier G D And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile C G D Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while" Chorus: Bm I cried G Never gonna hold the hand of another guy D "Too young for him," they told her A Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Bm Our love will never end G Waitin' for the soldier to come back again D Nevermore to be alone A D When the letter says, "A soldier's comin' home" Verse 3: D One Friday night at a football game D The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang G And a man said, "Folks, would you bow your heads D For a list of local Vietnam dead " Verse 4: D Cryin' all alone underneath the stands D Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band G D And one name read, and nobody really cared Am G D Except that pretty little girl with a bow in her hair Chorus: Bm I cried G Never gonna hold the hand of another guy D "Too young for him," they told her A Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Bm Our love will never end G N.C. Waitin' for the soldier to come back again D Nevermore to be alone A Bm G When the letter says, "A soldier's comin' home" D A D When the letter says, "A soldier's comin' home" Outro: D
