hey Guys, the strumming is just like the song and these are the chords that I
think sound correct :) enjoy!
G
Two days past 18, he was waitin for a bus in his army greens
Cadd9
sat down in a booth, at a cafe there
G
gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
hes a little shy so she give him a smile
Cadd9
and he said would you mind sitting down for a while, and talking
G
Im feeling a little low
D Cadd9 G
she said im off in an hour and I know where we can go
G
so they went down and they sat on the peir
he said I bet you got a boyfriend but I dont care
Cadd9 G
Ive got noone, to send a letter to
D Cadd9 G
would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
(chorus)
Em D
I cried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy,
Cadd9
too young for him they told her
G
waiting for the love of a travelling soldier
Em D
our love will never end, waiting for that soldier to come back again
Cadd9
never gonna be alone
D G
when the letter said, soldiers coming home,
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)
