[Verse 1]
[A]Two days past[A]eighteen
He[A] was waitin' for the bus in[A]his army green
Sat[D]down in a booth[D]in a cafe there
He[A]gave his order to a girl with a[A]bow in her hair
[Verse 2]
[A]He's a little shy so she [A]give him a smile
And[A]he said would you mind [A]sittin' down for a while
And[D]talkin' to me, I'm [A]feelin-a little low
She[G]said I'm off in an[D]hour and I know[D]where we can go
[Verse 3]
So[A]they went down and[A]they sat on the pier
He[A]said I bet you got a[A]boyfriend but I don't care
[D]I got no one, to[A]send a letter to
Would[G]you mind[D]if I sent[A]one back here to you
[Chorus]
[F#m]I cried
[D]Never gonna hold the[D]hand of [D]another guy
[A]Too young for[A]him they told her
[E]Waitin' for the love of a[E] travelin- soldier
Our love [F#m]will never end
[D]Waitin' for the soldier to[D]come back again
[A]Never more to be alone
When[E]the letter said, a[A]soldier's coming[A]home
[Verse 4]
So the[A]letters came from [A]an army camp
In[A]California then [A]Afghanistan
And [D]he told her of his heart[D] it might be love
And[A]all of the things that [A]he was so scared of
[Verse 5]
[A]He said when it's gettin' [A]kinda rough over here
[A]I think of that day [A]sittin' down at the pier
And[D]I close my eyes and [A]see your pretty smile
[G]Don't worry but [D]I won't be able [A]to write for a while
[Chorus]
[F#m]I cried
[D]Never gonna hold the [D]hand of another guy

Our love[F#m]will never end
[D]Waitin' for the soldier to [D]come back again
[A]Never more [A]to be alone
When[E]the letter said, a [A]soldier's coming' home
[Verse 6]
[A]One Friday night at a [A]football game
[A]The Lord's Prayer said and [A]the anthem sang
[D]A man said "Folks, would[A] you bow your head
[A]To a list of local [A]soldiers dead"
[Verse 7]
[A]Cryin' all alone [A]under the stands

[F#m]I cried
[D]Never gonna hold[D]the hand of another guy

Our love[F#m]will never end
[D]Waitin' for the soldier[D]to come back again
[A]Never more to be [A]alone
[E]When the letter said, a[A]soldier's coming' home
