Verse:
A
Two days past 18, he was waiting for a bus in his army greens,
D
Sat down at a booth, at a cafe there,
A
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
A
He's a little shy, so she give him a smile,
A
And he said: "Would you mind sitting down for a while,
D A
And talking to me, I'm feeling a little low?"
G D A (A)
She said: "I'm off in an hour, and I know where we can go."
A
So they went down and they sat on the pier,
A
He said: "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care,
D A
I got no-one to send a letter to.
G D A
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?"
Chorus:
F#m D
I cried, I'm never gonna hold the hand of another guy,
A
Too young for him, they told her.
E E7
Waiting for the love of a travelling soldier.
F#m
Our love will never end,
D
Waiting for the soldier to come back again.
A
Never more to be alone,
E E7 A (A)
When the letter says: A soldier's coming home.
Verse:
A
So the letters came from an army camp,
A
In California, then Vietnam.
D
And he told her of his heart, he might be in love,
A
And all the things he was so scared of

A
One Friday night at a football game,
A
The Lord's prayer said, and the anthem sang,
D
And a man said: "Folk's, would you bow your head,
A
For a list of the local, Vietnam dead."

Crying all alone, under the stand,
A
Was a piccolo player in the marching band.

And one name read, and nobody really cared,

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