A
Leaves from the vine
A
Falling so slow
      Gbm
Like fragile, tiny shells
D               A
Drifting in the foam.
A
Little soldier boy

Come marching home
Gbm
Brave soldier boy
D             A
Come marching home


A
Ash in the snow

Falling so slow
     Gbm
Like fragile, broken hearts
     D           A
With no place to go.
A
Little soldier boy

Come marching home
Gbm
Brave soldier boy
D             A
Come marching home


A
He thought he knew
    
What he was fighting for,
Gbm
But the sight of blood
     D             A
Made him question war.
A
Poor soldier boy

Cold and alone,
Gbm
Bombs fall like rain,
D        A
He's all alone.


A
Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown
Gbm
Drifting slowly down
D              A
Resting in the snow.
A
Little soldier boy

Taken from home
Gbm
Forced to fight a war
D               A
That is not his own.


A
Leaves from the vine

Changing so slow
Gbm
Like empty, fallen souls
D             A
Looking for a home.
A
Little soldier boy

Thought that he could soar
Gbm
Brave soldier boy
D             A
Died in that war.
