Capo 2
Two days past 18, he was waitin for a bus in his army greens
Cadd9sat down in a booth, at a cafe there
gave his oGrder to a girl with a bow in her hair
hes a little shy so she give him a smile
and he said would you mind sitting down for a while, and Cadd9talking
Im feeling a little Glow
she said im Foff in an hour and CI know where we can gGo
so they went down and they sat on the peir
he said I bet you got a boyfriend but I dont care
Ive Cadd9got noone, to send a letter tGo
would you mFind if I sent oCadd9ne back here to youG'
(chorus)
EmI cried, nCever gonna hold the hand of another guy,
Gtoo young for him they told her
Dwaiting for the love of a travelling soldier
Emour love will never end, wCaiting for that soldier to come back again
Gnever gonna be alone
when the leDtter said, soldiers coming hoGme,
so the letters came from an army camp, in california then veitnam
and he told her of his heart, it might be love
and all of the things he was so scared of
he said when its getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sitting down at the pier
and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
dont worry but I wont be able to write for a while
(chorus)
(Softer Strumming)
one friday night at a football game
the lords prayer said and the anthem sang
and the man said folks, would you bow your heads
for a list of local veitnam dead
crying all alone under the stands
was a pickalo player in a marching band
and one name read, nobody really cared
except a pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair
(chorus x2)
