[Verse 1]
 
D
Two days past eighteen, he was waiting on the
 
bus in his army green
    G
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there, gave his
D
order to a girl with a bow in her hair
 
D
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
 
He said would you mind sittin' down for a
           G                                 D
while, and talking to me, I'm feeling pretty low
             Am7                G
She said I'm off in an hour and I know a
             D
place we can go
 
D D/F# D
 
[Verse 2]
 
D
So they went down and they sat on the pier,
 
he said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
       G                           D
Cuz’ I got no one to send a letter to
          Am7             G                D
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm
I cried
G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
D
Too young for him they told her
A                                   A#dim7
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Bm
Our love will never end
G
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
D
Never more to be alone
          A                               D
When the letter says, a soldier's coming home
 
D
 
[Verse 3]
 
        D
So the letters came from an army camp, in
 
California then Vietnam
        G
And he told her of his heart, how it might be
         D
love and all of the things he was so scared of
 
    D
He said when it's getting kinda rough over
 
here, I sit and think about that day on the pier
       G                                 D
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
       Am7                  G
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for
  D
a while

[Verse 4]
 
    D
One Friday night at a football game, the
 
Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
   G
A man said folks would you bow your head, for
  D                      D
a list of local Vietnam dead
 
D D/F#
 
D
Cryin’ all alone underneath the stands, was
 
the piccolo player in the marching band
    G                                D
And one name read and nobody really cared
             Am7                      G
Except that pretty little girl with a bow in
    D
her hair
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm

A                                   A#dim7
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Bm
Our love will never end
G                          N.C.
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
D
Never more to be alone
          A                               Bm       G
When the letter says, a soldier's coming home
