C
Leaves from the vine
C
Falling so slow
      Am
Like fragile, tiny shells
F               C
Drifting in the foam.
C
Little soldier boy

Come marching home
Am
Brave soldier boy
F             C
Come marching home


C
Ash in the snow

Falling so slow
     Am
Like fragile, broken hearts
     F           C
With no place to go.
C
Little soldier boy

Come marching home
Am
Brave soldier boy
F             C
Come marching home


C
He thought he knew
    
What he was fighting for,
Am
But the sight of blood
     F             C
Made him question war.
C
Poor soldier boy

Cold and alone,
Am
Bombs fall like rain,
F        C
He's all alone.


C
Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown
Am
Drifting slowly down
F              C
Resting in the snow.
C
Little soldier boy

Taken from home
Am
Forced to fight a war
F               C
That is not his own.


C
Leaves from the vine

Changing so slow
Am
Like empty, fallen souls
F             C
Looking for a home.
C
Little soldier boy

Thought that he could soar
Am
Brave soldier boy
F             C
Died in that war.
