Verse: A Two days past 18, he was waiting for a bus in his army greens, D Sat down at a booth, at a cafe there, A Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair. A He's a little shy, so she give him a smile, A And he said: "Would you mind sitting down for a while, D A And talking to me, I'm feeling a little low?" G D A (A) She said: "I'm off in an hour, and I know where we can go." 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 D I cried, I'm never gonna hold the hand of another guy, A Too young for him, they told her. E E7 Waiting for the love of a travelling soldier. F#m Our love will never end, D Waiting for the soldier to come back again. A Never more to be alone, E E7 A (A) When the letter says: A soldier's coming home. Verse: A So the letters came from an army camp, A In California, then Vietnam. D And he told her of his heart, he might be in love, A And all the things he was so scared of A He said: "When it's getting kinda rough over here, A I think of that day sitting down at the peir, D A And I close my eyes, and see your pretty smile, G D A Now don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while."
