[A]
Two days past 18 he was waiting for the bus and his army green [D] sat down in a booth
Cafe there gave [A] 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 a [D] while and talking to me?
Feeling a little [A] low
She [G] said I'm [D] off in an hour, and I know where we [A] can go
So they went down and sat on the pier he said I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care [D] I got no one
Just sent a letter [A] to
Would [G] you mind if I [D] sent one back here [A] to you [F#m] I
[A] [D] Cried never gonna hold the hand of another [A] guy
Too young him a [E] told her waiting for the love of a traveling [F#m] soldier
[Bm] [D]
[A] When the [E] letters said the soldiers come [A] 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 when it's getting kind of rub over here
Here [D] and I close my eyes see your pretty [A] smile
[G] Don't worry, but I won't [D] be able to write [A] for a while
