Verse 1
G 
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus
C 
And his army green sat down in a booth
In a cafe there
G 
Gave his order to a girl
With a bow in her hair
He's a little shy
So she gave him a smile
And he said, Would you mind
sitting down for a while
C 
And talking to me
G 
I'm feeling a little low
F 
C 
She said, I'm off in an hour
G 
And I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said, I bet you got a boyfriend
C 
But I don't care, I got no one
G 
To send a letter to
F 
Would you mind if I sent one
C 
G 
Em 
back here to you?
D 
C 
I cried, 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 letters said,
G 
a soldier's coming home
So 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
he was so scared of
He said, when it's getting
kind of rough over here
I think of that day sitting down at pier and I close
C 
G 
my eyes and see your pretty smile
F 
Don't worry,
C 
G 
Em 
but I won't be able to ride for a while
D 
C 
I cried, 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 said
G 
The soldier's coming home

Verse 2
G 
On Friday night at a football game,
the Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
C 
A man said, folks,
would you bow your heads
G 
for a 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 
Em 
with a bow in her hair
D
