[Verse]
A                     
Two days past eighteen
       A                                    
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
D                                  
Sat down in a booth in 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                                           
So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
    D                                  A  
And talking to me I'm feeling a little low
         G          D                               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                   
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you


[Chorus]
A F#m      
I ■   cried
D                                    A  
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
    A                          
Too young for him they told her
E                                   F#m    
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
    F#m                
Our love will never end
D                                    A    
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
                                E          
Never more to be alone when the letter says
                   A   
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
                     A                                    
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
   A                                           
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
  A                                         
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
      D                                 A    
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
G                          D                   A    
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while


[Chorus]
F#m        
■   I cried
D                                    A  
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
    A                          
Too young for him they told her
E                                   F#m    
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
    F#m                
Our love will never end
D                                    A    
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
                                E          
Never more to be alone when the letter says
                   A   
A soldier's coming home

[Verse]
    A                              
One Friday night at a football game
    A                                     
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
  D                                     
A man said folks would you bow your head
        A                     A    E A
For the list of local Vietnam dead ■ ■
A                                
Crying all alone under the stands
        A                                  
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
    D                               A    
And one name read and nobody really cared
      G                  D             A   E F#m 
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her ■ hair


[Chorus]
  F#m  
I cried
D                                    A  
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
    A                          
Too young for him they told her
E                                   F#m7   
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
    F#m7               
Our love will never end
D                                    A    
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
                                E          
Never more to be alone when the letter says
                   F#m 
A soldier's coming home
  F#m  
I cried
D                                    A  
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
    A                          
Too young for him they told her
E                                   F#m    
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
    F#m                
Our love will never end
D                                    A    
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
                                E          
Never more to be alone when the letter says
            A          
A soldier's coming home
