Verse 1
(G major) Two days past eighteen
He was Waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat (C major) down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his (G major) order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
And he said
"Would you mind sittin' down for a while
and talkin' (C major) to me, I'm feeling a little low" (G major)
She said "I'm (F major) off in an hour
and I (C major) know where we can go" (G major)

So they (G major) went down and they sat on the pier

here to you?" (G major)

(E minor) I (D major) cried
(C major) Never gonna hold the hand of another guy (G major)

Never more to be alone when the (D major) letter says
A soldier's coming home (G major)
Verse 3
So the (G major) letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told (C major) her of his heart
It might be love and all (G major) of the things

He said when it's getting
kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close (C major) my eyes
and see your pretty smile (G major)
Don't (F major) worry but I won't be able (C major)
to write for a while" (G major)

Verse 4
One (G major) Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A man (C major) said folks would you bow your head
For the (G major) list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
And one (C major) name read and nobody really cared (G major)
But a (F major) pretty little girl (C major) with a bow in her (G major) hair

Waitin' (C major) for the soldier to come back again (G major)
Never more to be alone when the (D major) letter says
A soldier's coming (G major) home
