Two days past 18 he was waiting for the bus and his army [D] green sat down in a booth
Cafe there [A] gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
And he said would you mind sitting down for a [D] while and talking to me?
I'm feeling a [A] little low
She [D] said I'm off in an [A] hour, and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier he said I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't [D] care
I got no one to send [A] a letter to
[E]
[D] Would you mind if I sent one back [A] here to you?
[F#m] I
[D] Cried never gonna hold the hand of [A] another guy too young him
They [E] told her waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Our love will never [D] end
Waiting for the soldier to come [A] back again
Never more to be alone [E] when the letter said the soldiers [A] come home
So letters came from an army camp in
California then Vietnam [D] and he told her of his heart might be
[A] Loving all of the things he was so scared of said when it's getting kind of rough over here
Because that day sitting down here, [D] and I close my eyes
See your [A] pretty smile
[G] Don't worry, but I [D] won't be able to write [A] for a while
[F#m]
[D] Never gonna hold
[A] Too young him they [E] told her waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Our love [E] will never [D] end
Waiting for the soldier to come [A] back again
Never more to be alone [E] when the letters said the soldiers come [A] in Oh
