[Verse 1]
A
Two days past eighteen
A
He was waitin' for the bus in his army green
D
Sat down in a booth, in a cafe there
A
He gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
[Verse 2]
A
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
A
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
D A
And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low
G D
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
[Verse 3]
A
So they went down and they sat on the pier
A
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
D A
I got no one, to send a letter to
G D A
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
[Chorus]
F#m
I cried
D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A
Too young, for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m
Our love will never end
D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A
Never more to be alone
E A
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home
[Verse 4]
A
So the letters came from an army camp
A
In California then Afghanistan
D
And he told her of his heart, it might be love
A
And all of the things that he was so scared of
[Verse 5]
A
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
A
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
D A
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
G D A
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while
[Chorus]
F#m
I cried
D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A
Too young, for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m
Our love will never end
D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A
Never more to be alone
E A
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home
[Verse 6]
A
One Friday night at a football game
A
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
D
A man said "Folks, would you bow your head
A
To a list of local soldiers dead"
[Verse 7]
A
Cryin' all alone under the stands
A
Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band
D A
And one name read, and nobody really cared
G D A
But the pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair
[Chorus]
F#m
I cried
D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A
Too young, for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m
Our love will never end
D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A
Never more to be alone
E
When the letter said, a soldier's comin'...
[Outro]
F#m
I cried
D
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
A
Too young, for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m
Our love will never end
D
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
A
Never more to be alone
E A
When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home
