[Intro]
E Esus4 E Esus4
[Verse 1]
A B A E
Wanda was alone at night while he was somewhere sailing
A B F#m B E
A Navy wife with too much spare time on her hands
A B A E
His letters were a comfort and I think she really loved him
A B F#m B E
But paper words don't fill the space when someone needs a man.
[Chorus]
A B E
And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda
A B E
Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine
A B F#m B E
And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia
A B F#m B E
I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time.
[Verse 2]
A B A E
Wanda gave me everything a body ever needed
A B F#m B E
But a body's needs will sometimes lead a soul to sin
A B A E
She was only lonesome a wife on leave of duty
A B F#m B E
She went down in history and probably will again.
[Chorus]
A B E
And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda
A B E
Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine
A B F#m B E
And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia
A B F#m B E
I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time.
[Outro]
A B F#m B E
I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time...
