[Verse]
B
Two days past eighteen

He was waiting for the bus in his 
army greens
     E
Sat down in a  booth in a cafe there
B
Gave his order to a girl with a bow 
in her hair
B
He's a little shy so she gave him a 
smile

So he said would you mind sitting 
down for a while
    E
And talking to me
                      B
I'm feeling a little low
              A
She said I'm off in an hour
E                       B
And I know where we can go
B
So they went down and they sat on 
the pier

He said I bet you got a boyfriend 
but I don't care
  E                           B
I got no one to send a letter to
          A              E        
Would you mind if I sent one back 
        B
here to you
G#m     E
I cried never gonna hold the hand of
 another guy
B
Too young for him they told her
F#
Waiting for the love of the 
travellin soldier
G#m
My love will never end
E
Waiting for the soldier to come back
 again

Never more to be alone when the 
F#
letter says
                   B
My soldiers coming home
B
The letters came from an army camp

In California and Viet Nam
   E
He told her of his heart It might be
 love
    B
And all of the things he was so 
scared of
B
He said when it's getting kinda 
tough over here

I think of that day sitting down at 
the pier
      E                         
And I close my eyes and see your 
        B
pretty smile
      A
Don't worry but
           E                  B
I won't be able to write for awhile
G#m     E

My soldiers coming home

B
One Friday night at a football game

The lords prayer said and the anthem
 sang
E
The man said
Folks would you bow your head
         B
For the list of local Viet Name dead
B
Crying all alone under the stands

Was the picolo player in the 
marching band
    E                          
And one name read nobody really 
 B
cared
      A                  E        
But a pretty little girl with a 
         B
bow in her hair
G#m     E
I cried never gonna hold the hand of
 another guy
B
Too young for him they told her
F#

E
Waiting for the soldier to come back
