Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

A augmentedA
 Two days past eighteen

    A augmentedA
He was waitin' for the bus in his army green

   D MajorD
Sat down in a booth, in a cafe there

      A augmentedA
He gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair


Verse 2:

A augmentedA
He's a little shy so she give him a smile

   A augmentedA
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while

  D MajorD                 A augmentedA
And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low

      G+G         D MajorD
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go

Verse 3:

     A augmentedA
So they went down and they sat on the pier

     A augmentedA
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care

 D MajorD             A augmentedA
I got no one, to send a letter to

    G+G       D MajorD     A augmentedA
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you


Chorus:

GbmGbm
 I cried

D MajorD
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

A augmentedA
Too young, for him they told her

E MajorE
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

GbmGbm
Our love will never end

D MajorD
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

A augmentedA
Never more to be alone

     E MajorE               A augmentedA
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home

Verse 4:

     A augmentedA
So the letters came from an army camp

  A augmentedA
In California then Afghanistan

And he told her of his heart, it might be love

  A augmentedA
And all of the things that he was so scared of


Verse 5:

  A augmentedA
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here

  A augmentedA
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier

    D MajorD               A augmentedA
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile

G+G            D MajorD          A augmentedA
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while

A augmentedA man said "Folks, would you bow your head

  A augmentedA
To a list of local soldiers dead"


Verse 7:

A augmentedA
Cryin' all alone under the stands

   A augmentedA
Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band

  D MajorD                A augmentedA
And one name read, and nobody really cared

But the pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair
