Two days past 18 he was waiting for the bus in his RV [G] green sat down to the booth
The cafe there gave his order to [A] a girl with the bow in [D] her hair
Shy so she gave him a smile.
He said would you mind sitting down for a [G] while and talking to me?
Feeling a little
She [C] said I'm off in an hour and I know where [D] we can go
So they went down and he sat on the pier he said I bet you got a boyfriend, but I [G] don't care I got no one

So they're [A] waiting for the love of the traveling [Bm] soldier
[G] Waiting for the soldier to come [D] back again

home
So the letters came from an army camp in

Crying all alone under the sun was a big old player in a marching [G] band in one name red
