Two days past 18 he was waiting on a bus and his army [Ab] green sat down in a booth and the.
cafe [Eb] there gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile.
He said would you mind sitting down for [Ab] a while and talking [Eb] to me.
.
[Bbm] She said I'm off [Ab] in our own little [Eb] place we can go.
.
So he went down and sat on the pier.
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't [Ab] care cause I got no one to [Eb] send a letter to.
[Db] Would you mind if [Ab] I sent one back [Eb] to you.
.
[Cm] [Ab] I cried and you're gonna hold the hand of [Eb] another guy too young for him [Bb] they told her.
Waiting for the love [G] of a traveling [Cm] soldier on the other [Ab] end.
Waiting for the soldier to [Eb] come back again.
There's more to be [Bb] alone when the letter says the [Eb] soldier's coming home.
.
So the letters came from an army camp in California then [Ab] Vietnam and he told her of his heart.
It might be [Eb] love and all the things he was so scared of.
He said when it's getting kind of rough over here.
He said and think about that day on the [Ab] pier.
And I close my eyes and see your [Eb] pretty smile.
.
[Db] Don't worry but [Ab] I won't be able to [Eb] write for a while.
.
[Cm] I [Eb] [Ab] cried and you're gonna hold the hand of [Eb] another guy too young for him they [Bb] told her.
Waiting for the love [Eb] of a traveling [Cm] soldier on the other [Ab] end.
Waiting for the soldier to come [Eb] back again.
There's more to be [Bb] alone when the letter says the soldier's [Eb] coming home.
.
One Friday night at a football game the Lord's Prayer said and the anthem [Ab] sang.
And a man said folks would you bow your [Eb] head for a list of the local Vietnam dead.
.
Well right on along underneath the stands was a big old player in the marching [Ab] band.
And one named Red.
Nobody [Eb] really cared.
[Bbm] Except that pretty little [Ab] girl with a [Eb] bow in her hair.
.
