[A] Two days past 18 he was waiting for the bus and his army [D] green sat down in a booth
Cafe [A] there gave his 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 sitting down for [D] a while and talking to me?
Feeling [A] a little low
She [G] said [D] I'm off in an hour, and I know where [A] 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 [D] care
I got no one
to send [A] a letter to
Would [G] you mind if [D] I sent one back [A] here to you?
[F#m] I
[A]
[D] Cried never gonna hold the hand of [A] another guy
Too young him they [E] told her waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Our love will never [D] end
Waiting for the soldier to come [A] back again
Never more be alone when the [E] letter said my soldiers [A] come home
So letters came from an army camp in
California then Vietnam [D] and he told her of his heart might be
[A] Loving all of the things he was so scared of said when it's getting kind of rough over here
I think of that day sitting down [D] here, and I close my eyes
See your [A] pretty smile
[G] Don't worry, but I [D] won't be able to [A] write for a while
[F#m]
[D] Never gonna hold the hand of [A] another guy too young him they [E] told her waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier

Alone under the stands was a low player in the marching [D] band in one name red
Nobody [A] really cared
