Verse:
BB
Two days past eighteen

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

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

He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
 E MajorE              BB
I got no one to send a letter to
     A augmentedA       E MajorE        BB
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
G# minorG#m   E MajorE
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
BB
Too young for him they told her
F#F#
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
G# minorG#m
My love will never end
E MajorE
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
BB                F#F#
Never more to be alone when the letter says
          BB
My soldiers coming home
BB
The letters came from an army camp

In California and Viet Nam
  E MajorE
He told her of his heart It might be love
  BB
And all of the things he was so scared of
BB
He said when it's getting kinda tough over here

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

BB
One Friday night at a football game

The lords prayer said and the anthem sang
E MajorE
The man said
Folks would you bow your head
     BB
For the list of local Viet Name dead
BB
Crying all alone under the stands

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

My soldiers coming
G# minorG#m   E MajorE
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
BB
Too young for him they told her
F#F#
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
G# minorG#m
My love will never end
E MajorE
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
BB                F#F#
Never more to be alone when the letter says
          G# minorG#m E MajorE F#F# BB
My soldiers coming home
