Verse 1:

        A          A7               D
        A lonely soldier needs his girl
                 Ddim                 A
        But he's halfway 'round the world
               A7                  D
        If he knew the truth he'd hurt
                    Ddim             A
        'Cause his girl's become a flirt
          C#7      F#m       Em    A
        'Round the town they say  toy

[repeat chorus]

Verse 2:

        Oh how he dreams of his return
        And the coming home he earned
        All his dreamin' was a waste
        There's a new face in his place
        She ain't waiting for you

[repeat chorus]
