Verse 1
G 
Two days past eighteen
he was waiting for the bus
and his army of greens
C 
sat down in a booth.
G 
Gaffey there gave his order
to a girl with a bow in her hair.
He's a little shy but she gave him a smile so he said,
Would you mind sitting down for a while
C 
and talking to me?
G 
I'm feeling a little low.
She said,
F 
C 
G 
I'm off and I don't know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said, I bet you got a boyfriend
but I don't care
C 
G 
I got no one to send a letter to
F 
Would you mind if I sent one
C 
G 
D 
Em 
back here to you?
D 
C 
I cry, never gonna hold
the hand of another guy
G 
Too young for him, they told her
D 
Waiting for the love of a
traveling soldier
Em 
D 
Our love will never end
C 
Waiting for the soldier to
come back again
G 
Never more to be alone
D 
When the letter says
G 
A soldier's coming home
Well, the letters came from an army camp
In California, then Vietnam
C 
And he told her of his heart
G 
He might be loving all of the things
She was so scared of
He said, when it's getting
kinda rough over here
I think of that day sitting down at the pier
C 
and I close my eyes
G 
And see your pretty smile
F 
C 
Don't worry but I won't be able
G 
D 
Em 
to write for a while
D 
C 
I'll cry, never gonna hold
the hand of another guy
G 
Too young for him they told her
D 
Waiting for the love of
a traveling soldier
Em 
D 
Our love will never end
C 
Waiting for the soldier to
come back again
G 
Never more to be alone
D 
When the letter says
G 
The soldier's coming home

Verse 2
G 
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said
and the anthem sang
C 
A man said, folks,
G 
would you bow your head
For the list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the
marching band
C 
And one named Red,
G 
and nobody really cared
F 
But a pretty little girl
C 
G 
D 
Em 
with a bow in her hair
D 
C 
I cry, never gonna hold
the hand of another guy
G 
Too young for him they told her
D 
Waiting for the love of a
traveling soldier
Em 
D 
Our love will never end
C 
Waiting for the soldier to
come back again
G 
Never more to be alone
D 
when the letter says
Em 
The soldier's coming I   cry
D 
C 
Never gonna hold the
hand of another guy
G 
Too young for him, they told her
D 
Waiting for the love
of the traveling soldier
Em

Our love will never end

Waiting for the soldier
to come back again
G 
Never more to be alone

When the letter says,
my soldier's coming home
