GTwo days past 18

He was Gwaiting for a bus in his army greens

Sat Cdown at a booth at a cafe there

Gave his Gorder to a girl with a bow in her hair

GHe’s a little shy so she give him a smile

And he Gsaid would you mind sitting down for a while

And Ctalking to me, I’m feeling a little Glow?

She said I’m Foff in an hour and CI know where we can Ggo

G

So Gthey went down and they sat on the pier

He said I Gbet you got a boyfriend but I don’t care, I’ve

CGot no one to send a letter Gto

Would you Fmind if I sent Cone back here to Gyou?

G

So the Gletters came from an army camp

In GCalifornia then Vietnam

And he Ctold her of his heart, he might be in love

And Gall the things he was so scared of

He Gsaid when it’s getting kinda rough over here

I Gthink of that day sitting down at the pier

And I Cclose my eyes and see your pretty Gsmile

Don’t Fworry but I won’t be Cable to write for a Gwhile

Solo on verse chords if appropriate

One GFriday night at a football game

The Glord’s prayer said and the anthem sang

And a Cman said folks would you bow your head

For a Glist of local Vietnam dead

G

GCrying all alone under the stand

Was a Gpiccolo player in the marching band

And Cone name read and nobody really Gcared

But a Fpretty little girl Cwith a bow in her Ghair
