G
Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
C
Sat down in 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

C                                G
I've got no one to send a letter to
         F               C                G -Passagem- G D/F# Em7
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?

Em7   C
I cried
                     C/G
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
G
Too young for him they told her
D                         D7
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Em7
Our love will never end
C                            C/G
Waitin' for the soldier come back again
G
Never more to be alone
D               D7                      G
When the letter says a soldier's coming home

G
One friday night at a football game
The Lord's prayer said and the anthem sang
             C
A man said folks would you bow your heads
                                   G D/F# Em7
For the list of local Vietnam dead
