My first tab :) Enjoy Cadd9: either x32030 or 335533 G Two days past 18 He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens Cadd9 Sat down in a booth at a cafe there G Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair He's a little shy so she gave him a smile So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while Cadd9 G And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low A C She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go G So they went down and they sat on the pier He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care Cadd9 G I've got no one to send a letter to A C Would you mind if I sent one back here to you? CHORUS: Em I cried C G Never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her D Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier Em Our love will never end C G Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone D G When the letter says a soldier's coming home G So the letters came from an army camp In California then Vietnam Cadd9 And he told his heart It might be love G And all of the things he was so scared of Said when it's gettin kinda rough over here I think about that day sittin' down at the pier Cadd9 G And close my eyes and see your pretty smile A C G Now don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while CHORUS G [strum once then mute] One Friday night at a football game G The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang Cadd9 G A man said folks would you bow your heads [don't strum] [pause] For the list of local Vietnam dead G Cryin' all alone under the stands Was the piccolo player in the marching band Cadd9 G And none name read, nobody really cared A C But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair CHORUS [twice]
