[A] [C]
Ten days past eighteen, he was waiting for the bus
And his army couldn't [D] sit down
Got freed there, [A] gave his soldier to a girl with a bow on her head
He's a little shy, so she gives him a smile
Said, would you mind sitting down for a while and talking to me?
[D] Feeling a [A] little low
She [G] said, I'm old fella [D] now and I know what you [A] came for
Oh, they went down and they sat on the beach
Said, I bet you got a boyfriend
Don't [D] care, I got no one
To send a [A] letter to
[G] Would you mind if I [D] send one back [A] here to you?
[C#m] Nine [D] [A]
days, one day [E] told her
Waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
[D] Waiting for the soldier to come [A] back again
Never more to be alone [E] when the love of a soldier's [A] gone
So the letter came from an army cabin
California, then Vietnam
[D] And he told her his heart might be [A] alive in all of the fields
He was so scared
Said, when it's getting kinda rough over here
Think of dead days sitting down at the [D] pier
When I close my eyes, I see your pretty [A]
smile
[G] Don't worry, I [D] won't be able to write [A] for a while
[C#m]
Nine [D] days, [A] [E] one day told her
Waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
[D] Waiting for the soldier to come [A] back again
Never more to be alone [E] when the love of a soldier's [A] gone

One Friday night at the football game
Lordsburg said, and the Athens [D] sang a man's heart
Would you bow your [A] head for the list of local Vietnam dead?
Crying all alone under the stems
Was a piccolo player in the marching [D] band
And one name, well, nobody [A] really cared
But [G] a poor black girl with a [A] bow in her hair
[F#m] I
[D] never wanted [A]
to hear him, but him they [E] told
Waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Waiting [D]
for the soldier to come back [A] again
Never more to be alone [E] when the love of a soldier's gone
[F#m]
I never [D] wanted to [A] hear him, but him they told
[E] Waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
Waiting [D] for the soldier to come back [A] again
Never more to be alone when [E] the love of a [A] soldier's gone
Thank
