[Intro]

A

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A
 Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
    Dadd9
Sat down in a booth, a cafe there
         A
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she give him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
       Dadd9                             A
And talking to me, I'm feeling a little low
             Gsus2                Dadd9                   A
She said I'm off  in an hour and I     know where we can go

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        A
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
   D                           A
I got no one to send a letter to
          Gsus2             D
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
F#m E
  I cried
D                             Bm7      A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m                   E
  Our love will never end
 D                              Bm7     A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
                                E
Never more to be alone when the letter said
            E/G#   A
A soldier's coming home

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       A
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Afganistan
        D
And he told her of his heart
                      A
It might be love and all of the things that he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
         D                                 A
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
      Gsus2                  D                  A
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while



[Verse 4]
---------------------
    A
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
   Dadd9
A man   said folks would you bow your heads
       A
To the list of local soldiers dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
     D                                A
And one name read and nobody really cared
      Gsus2             D               A
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
F#m E
  I cried
D                             Bm7      A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m                   E
  Our love will never end
 D                              Bm7     A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
                                E
Never more to be alone when the letter said
            E/G#
A soldier's coming

[Final Chorus]
---------------------
F#m E
  I cried
D                             Bm7      A
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
F#m                   E
  Our love will never end
 D                              Bm7     A
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
                                E
Never more to be alone when the letter said
            E/G#   A
A soldier's coming home
