Here's the video i learned this song from: 
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9F6SwvVvQ0 

2 
capo 2 standard tuning 


G 
Two  days past 18  he was waiting for a bus in his army greens  
    Cadd9                              G 
Sat down at a booth in a cafe there, gave his order to a girl with a bow in 
  
her hair 
G 
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile and he said would you mind  
                            Cadd9                                   G 
Sittin down for a while and talking to me, I'm feeling a little low 
            F                   Cadd9                    G 
She said I'm off in an hour 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 
Cadd9                           G 
I've got no one to send a letter to.  Would you mind if I sent one back here 

 to you?" 



Em 
I cried 
C 
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 
G 
Too young, for him they told her  
D 
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier 
Em 
Our love will never end 
C 
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again 
G 
Never more to be alone 
D                                        G 
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home 


G 
So the letters came from an army camp, in California then Vietnam 
         Cadd9                                      G 
And he told her of his heart, might be lovin all of things he was so 

scared of 
G 
He said when things were getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day  
                              Cadd9                                 G 
Sittin down at the pier and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile 
      F                    Cadd9                  G 
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while 




Em 
I cried 
C 
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 
G 
Too young, for him they told her  
D 
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier 
Em 
Our love will never end 
C 
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again 
G 
Never more to be alone 
D                                        G 
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home 



    G 
One Friday night at a football game, the Lord's prayer said and the anthem  
       Cadd9                                            G 
sang a man said folks would you bow your head for a list of local Vietnam  

dead 
G 
Cryin all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band 
    Cadd9                               G 
And one name read and nobody really cared 
      F                 Cadd9                  G 
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair 



Em 
I cried 
C 
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 
G 
Too young, for him they told her  
D 
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier 
Em 
Our love will never end 
C 
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again 
G 
Never more to be alone 
D                                        G 
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home 

Em 
I cried 
C 
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 
G 
Too young, for him they told her  
D 
Waitin for the love of a travelin soldier 
Em 
Our love will never end 
C 
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again 
G 
Never more to be alone 
D                                        G 
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home
