A Two days past eighteen He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens D Sat down in a booth at a cafe there A Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair He's a little shy so she gave him a smile So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while D A And talkin' to me I'm feelin' 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 He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care D A I've got no one to send a letter to G D A Would you mind if I sent one back here to you? F#m I cried D Never gonna hold the hand of another guy A Too young for him they told her E E7 Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier F#m Our love will never end D Waitin' for the soldier to come back again A Never more to be alone E E7 A When the letter says a soldier's coming home A So the letters came From an army camp In California then Vietnam D And he told his heart It might be love A And all of the things he was so scared of Said when it's gettin kinda rough over here I think about that day sittin' down at the pier D A And close my eyes and see your pretty smile G D A Now don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while F#m I cried D Never gonna hold the hand of another guy A Too young for him they told her E E7 Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier F#m Our love will never end D Waitin' for the soldier to come back again A Never more to be alone E E7 A When the letter says a soldier's coming home ( A D A D ) ( G D A ) A One Friday night at a football game The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang D A man said folks would you bow your heads A For the list of local Vietnam dead Cryin' all alone under the stands Was the piccolo player in the marching band D A And one name read and nobody really cared G D A But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair F#m I cried D Never gonna hold the hand of another guy A Too young for him they told her E E7 Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier F#m Our love will never end D Waitin' for the soldier to come back again A Never more to be alone E E7 A When the letter says a soldier's coming home (repete o refrão) ( D A D A D A D A D A D A D A D A D A )
