[Verse 1]
D G D
I was waiting for a ship to Vietnam

And me being the good time loving guy I am

I was looking for some female company
G D A D
I met a girl alone and lonesome just like me
[Verse 2]

We had coffee at a waterfront cafe

She said her husband was a soldier far away

And she talked about her long nights all alone

And the way she's fought temptation since he's gone

1460 Elder Street is where she took me

I'd have a home at 1460 Elder Street

Two months later I was on patrol one day

When a hand grenade fell not ten feet away
D G D
I watched as one brave man gave all that he could give
G D A D
He fell across it gave his life that I might live

I found a crumpled tear stained letter in his coat
A
And I read the Dear John Letter his wife wrote
D G D
He had nothing left for livin' for I guess
G D A D
I thought I die when I saw her return address
[Chorus]
