She said "I'm of^Ff in an hour and^C I know where we^G can go."

So t^Ghey went down and they sat on the pier He said I be^Gt you got a boyfriend but I don't care I've got ^Cno one to send a letter to Would you m^Find if I sent on^Ce back here t^Go you?

^EmI cried Ne^Cver gonna hold the hand of another guy ^GToo young for him they told her ^DWaitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier ^EmOur love will never end ^CWaitin' for the soldier to come back again ^GNever more to be alone ^DWhen the letter ^D7says a soldier's coming ^Ghome

One Fr^Emiday night at a football game The Lo^Crd's Prayer said and the anthem sang A man s^Gaid folks would you bow your heads For the l^Dist of local Vietnam dead C^Emryin' all alone under the stands Was the pi^Cccolo player in the marching band And on^Ge name read and no one really cared But a p^Dretty little girl with a bow in her hair

^EmI cried Ne^Cver gonna hold the hand of another guy ^GToo young for him they told her ^DWaitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier ^EmOur love will never end ^CWaitin' for the soldier to come back again ^GNever more to be alone ^DWhen the letter ^D7says a soldier's coming ^Ghome
