A*                 A
 Two days past eighteen he was 
  waiting for the bus in his army green
    D
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
         A
Gave his order to a girl with a bow 
 in her hair
A
He's a little shy so she gives him 
 a smile, and he said, 
 "Would you mind sittin' down for awhile
    D 
And talking to me? I'm feeling 
         A
A little low." She said, 
     G                    D
"I'm off in an hour and I know 
             A
Where we can go."

A

        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
          G                D
Would you mind if I sent a one 
              A
Back here to you


F#m     E      D
  I...  cried, Never gonna hold 
                      A
The hand of another guy
 too young for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a 
                 F#m
Travelin' soldier
                    E
Our love will never end
D
Waitin' for the soldier 
               A
To come back again
 Never more to be alone when 
    E
The letter said:
                      A
"A soldier's coming home"

A

       A
So the letters came from an army camp
 In California then Vietnam
       D
And he told her of his heart
                      A
It might be love and all of the things 
 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                                  
And I close my eyes and see your pretty 
A            G                    D
Smile, Don't worry but I won't be able to 
           A
Write for awhile."


F#m     E      D
  I...  cried, Never gonna hold 
                      A
The hand of another guy
 too young for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a 
                 F#m
Travelin' soldier
                    E
Our love will never end
D
Waitin' for the soldier 
               A
To come back again
 Never more to be alone when 
    E
The letter said:
                      A
"A soldier's coming home"

    A
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
  D                 
A man said, "Folks would you bow your heads
      A*                          A
For a list of local Vietnam dead."


A
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
    D                                  A
And one name read, but nobody really cared
      G                 D
But a pretty little girl with a bow 
   A
In her hair


F#m     E      D
  I...  cried, Never gonna hold 
                      A
The hand of another guy
 too young for him they told her
E
Waitin' for the love of a 
                 F#m
Travelin' soldier
                    E
Our love will never end
D
Waitin' for the soldier 
               A
To come back again
 Never more to be alone when 
    E
The letter said:
                    F#m  
"A soldier's coming


      E      D
I...  cried, Never gonna hold 
                      A

               A
To come back again
 Never more to be alone when

"A soldier's coming home"
