Capo di fret ke-2
G
Two days past eighteen
he was waiting for the bus in his army greens,
C
sat down in a booth in a café there,
G
gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
G
He's a little shy, so she gave him a smile,
and he said, "Would you mind sitting down for a while,
C G
and talking to me, I'm feeling a little low."
F C G
She said, "I'm off in an hour, and I know where we can go."
G
So they went down and they sat on the pier,
he said, "I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care,
C G
I got no one to send a letter to.
F C G
Would you mind, if I sent one back here to you?"
Em (D) C
I...... cried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy,
G
too young for him they told her,
D
waiting for the love of the travelin' soldier.
Em
Our love will never end,
C
waiting for the soldier to come back again,
G D
never more to be alone when the letter says,
G
my soldier's coming home.
G
So the letters came from an army camp
in California, then Vietnam,
C
and he told her of his heart and it might be love,
G
and all of the things he was so scared of.
G
He said, when it's getting kinda rough over here,
I think of that day sitting down at the pier.
C G
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile.
F C G
Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while.
Em (D) C
I...... cried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy,
G
too young for him they told her,
D
waiting for the love of the travelin' soldier.
Em
Our love will never end,
C
waiting for the soldier to come back again,
G D
never more to be alone when the letter says,
G
my soldier's coming home.
