[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...
