[Verse]
G
Two days past eighteen
 
He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
     C
Sat down in a  booth in a cafe there
G
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
G
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
 
So he said would you mind sitting down for a while
    C
And talking to me
                      G
I'm feeling a little low
              F
She said I'm off in an hour 
C                       G
And I know where we can 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
  C                           G
I got no one to send a letter to
          F              C                G
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
Em     C
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young for him they told her
D
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
Em
My love will never end
C
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
G                               D
Never more to be alone when the letter says
                   G
My soldiers coming home
G
The letters came from an army camp
 
In California and Viet Nam
   C
He told her of his heart It might be love
    G
And all of the things he was so scared of
G
He said when it's getting kinda tough over here
 
I think of that day sitting down at the pier
      C                                 G
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
      F
Don't worry but 
           C                  G
I won't be able to write for awhile
Em     C
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young for him they told her
D
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
Em
My love will never end
C
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
G                               D
Never more to be alone when the letter says
                   G
My soldiers coming home
 
[Verse]
G
One Friday night at a football game
 
The lords prayer said and the anthem sang
C
The man said
 
Folks would you bow your head
         G
For the list of local Viet Name dead
G
Crying all alone under the stands
 
Was the picolo player in the marching band
    C                           G
And one name read nobody really cared
      F                  C                 G
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
Em     C
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young for him they told her
D
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
Em
My love will never end
C
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
G                               D
Never more to be alone when the letter says
 
My soldiers coming
Em     C
I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young for him they told her
D
Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
Em
My love will never end
C
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
G                               D
Never more to be alone when the letter says
                   Em  C  D  G
My soldiers coming home
