Version 1[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
