[G] Two days past 18 he was waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat [C] down at a booth in a cafe there,
gave his [G] order to a girl with a bow in her hair
[G] He's a little shy so she gives him a smile and he said would you mind
Sitten down for a while and [C] talking to me, I'm feeling a little [G] low
She said I'm [F] off in an hour and [C] I know where we can [G] go
[G] So they went down and they sat on the pier he said "I bet you got a boyfriend
but I don't care, I've [C] got no one to send a letter [G] to.
Would you [F] mind if I sent [C] one back here to [G] you?"
[Em] I ..... [C] cried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[G] Too young, for him they told her
[D] Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Em] Our love will never end
[C] Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[G] Never more to be alone
[D] When the letters said, a soldiers coming [G] home
[G] So the letters came from an army camp, in California then Vietnam
And he [C] told her of his heart, might be love
and [G] all of the things he was so scared of.
[G] He said when it's getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day
Sittin down at the pier and I [C] close my eyes and see your pretty [G] smile
Don't [F] worry but I won't be [C] able to write for a [G] while
[Em] I ..... [C] cried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[G] Too young, for him they told her
[D] Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Em] Our love will never end
[C] Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[G] Never more to be alone
[D] When the letters said, a soldiers coming [G] home

One [G] Friday night at a football game, the Lord's prayer said and the anthem sang
a [C] man said folks would you bow your head for a [G] list of local Vietnam dead
[G] Cryin all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band
And [C] one name read and nobody really [G] cared
But a [F] pretty little girl [C] with a bow in her [G] hair
[Em] I ..... [C] cried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[G] Too young, for him they told her
[D] Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[Em] Our love will never end
[C] Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[G] Never more to be alone
[D] When the letters said, a soldiers coming [G] home
