Two days past eighteen she was waiting for the bus and her army green sat down in a booth
In a cafe nearby gave her order to a guy in a thin black tie
She's a little shy so he gave her a smile
And she said would you mind sitting down for a while [A] and talking to me?
I'm feeling a little low
He said I'm off in an hour [G] and I know where we can go
[D] [G] So they went down and they sat on the pier said I bet you got a girlfriend, but I [C] don't care
I got no one to send [G] a letter to
[F] Would you mind if I send [Am] one back here to [G] you?
[Em]
I
[C] Cried you'll never wanna hold the hand of [G] another [D] guy
But him they told her waiting for the love of a traveling [E]
soldier
I love will never [C] end
Waiting for the soldier to come [G] back again
Never more to be [A] alone when the letter says the soldiers [G] coming home
So the letters came once a week at least from
Oklahoma in the Middle [C] East and she told him of her heart it might be [G] love and all of the things
She was so scared of said when it's getting kind of rough over here
I think of that day sitting down at the [C] pier and I closed my eyes and see your [G] handsome smile
[F] Don't worry, but I won't be able to [G] write for a while
[Bm] [C]
Never wanna hold the hand [G] of a guy
But him they [D] told her waiting for the love of a traveling [Em] soldier
[C]
[G] When [D] the letter says the soldiers [G] coming home
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said in the anthem [C] sang a man said folks
Would you bow your [G] head for the list of the local army?
Crying on the loan under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band and one name
Nobody really cried
[F] But a single guy [C] in a thin [G] black
tie
[Em] [C]
[G] To him they [D] told her waiting for the love of a traveling [Em] soldier
[C] Waiting for the soldier to come back [G] again
