[Verse 1]
D5
  Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' on a bus
In his army greens
    G5
Sat down in a booth
In a cafe there
         D5
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 sittin'
Down for a while
        G5
And talkin' to me?
                       D5
I'm feelin' pretty low"
              C
She said "I'm off in an
           G5
Hour and I know
                  D5
A place we can go"

[Verse 2]
   D5
So they went down
And sat on the pier
He said "I bet you
Got a boyfriend,
But I don't care
           G5
Cause I got  no one,
                   D5
To send a letter to
              C
Would you mind if I sent one
G5
                  D5
Back here to you?"

[Chorus]
Bm
  I cried
G5
Never gonna hold
                       D5
The hand of another guy
"Too young for him,
"They told her
A
Waitin' for the love
               Bbdim7
Of a travelin' soldier
Bm
  Our love will never end
    G5
Waitin' for the soldier
                  D5
To come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         A
When the letter says,
                         D5
"A soldier's comin' home"

[Verse 3]
So the letters came
From an army camp
In California
Then Vietnam
And he told her
Of his heart,
It might be love
And all of the things
He was so scared of
He said, "When it's
Gettin' kinda
Rough over here
I sit and think about
That day on the pier
And I close my eyes
And see
Your pretty smile
Don't worry but
I won't be able
To write for a while"

[Chorus]
Bm
  I cried
G5
Never gonna hold
                       D5
The hand of another guy
"Too young for him,
"They told her
A
Waitin' for the love
               Bbdim7
Of a travelin' soldier
Bm
  Our love will never end
    G5
Waitin' for the soldier
                  D5
To come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         A
When the letter says,
"A soldier's comin' home"

[Verse 4]
One Friday night at
A football game
The Lord's Prayer said
And the anthem sang
And a man said, "Folks,
Would you
Bow your heads
For a list of local
Vietnam dead?"

[Verse 5]
Well, cryin' all alone
Underneath the stands
Was a piccolo player
In the marchin' band
And one name read,
And nobody really cared
Except that pretty little
Girl with a bow in her hair

[Chorus]
Bm
  I cried
G5
Never gonna hold
                       D5
The hand of another guy
"Too young for him,
"They told her
A
Waitin' for the love
               Bbdim7
Of a travelin' soldier
Bm
  Our love will never end
    G5
Waitin' for the soldier
                  D5
To come back again
Nevermore to be alone
         A
When the letter says,
             Bbdim7      Bm A
"A soldier's comin' home"
G5         D5
  When the letter says,
   A                     D5
"A soldier's comin' home"
