Get now

Verse 2

I got to the station, oh,

just a little bit late,

When I spotted a soldier turning

through an exit gate.

Oh, I pushed through the crowd

until I reached his side

And got the strangest look

from a strangers eyes.

Verse 3

I cried, Bill,  (C major) Bill,
G 
Bill when are you com (G major) ing back.
F 
I cried in a  (F major) stranger's arms standing
C 
F 
there by the rail (C major) road tracks.  (F major)

F 
 (C major) me  (F major) remains
C 
in my mind so clear.  (C major) 
You were saying you loved me,
F 
C 
but  (F major) the train made it hard  (C major) to hear.
So, we moved by the Coke machine,
F 
C 
 (F major) oh, so we could say good (C major) bye.
The people were staring,
F 
C 
but  (F major) I  couldn't keep the tears from my  (C major) eyes.

Verse 5
C 
As the train departed  (C major) your loving
F 
C 
mother  (F major) held me close.  (C major) 
We cried together, yeah,
F 
C 
try (F major) ing to keep each other host.  (C major) 
G 
Oh, wherever  (G major) you are you know you need it too,
F 
Ã¢??Cause no  (F major) one in this
world needs you like I do.

Verse 6
C 
I cried, Bill,  (C major) Bill, Bill,
G 
Bill when are you com (G major) ing back.
F 
I cried in a stranger's  (F major) arms standing
C 
there by the rail (C major) road tracks.
F 
C 
Oh,  (F major) yes  (C major) I did.

No news is good

Verse 8
C 
F 
 (C major) news; at  (F major) least,
C 
that's what your mama said.  (C major) 
But, I could see in her eyes,
F 
C 
 (F major) she too, is so  (C major) afraid.
Now, I've got nothing to cling to
F 
C 
 (F major) except what I felt inside,  (C major) 
F 
When I cried I loved you and looked  (F major) 
C 
into that stranger (C major) 's eyes.

Oh, I miss you, Bill.

I can't stand the pain of knowing

if I'll ever see you again!

G 
Bill when are you com (G major) ing back.
F 
I cried in a stranger's  (F major) arms standing
C 
there by  (C major) the railroad tracks.
Oh, yes I did.
