Em
I cried

I'm never gonna hold the hand of another guy,
G
"too young, for him!" they told her
D

Waiting for the soldier to come back again,

Never more to be alone,

Home"

G
So the letters came from an army camp,
G
In california, then Viet-Nam,

G
And all the things he was so scared of

G
He said "When it's getting kinda rough over here,
G
I think of that day sitting down at the peir,
C
And I close my eyes, and see your pretty 
G
Smile,

F                               C                   G
Now don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while.

Waiting for the love of a travelling soldier,
Em
Our love will never end,
C
Waiting for the soldier to come back again,
G
Never more to be alone,

The lord's prayer said, and the anthem sang,
