Db
Leaves from the vine
Db
Falling so slow
      Bbm
Like fragile, tiny shells
Gb               Db
Drifting in the foam.
Db
Little soldier boy

Come marching home
Bbm
Brave soldier boy
Gb             Db
Come marching home


Db
Ash in the snow

Falling so slow
     Bbm
Like fragile, broken hearts
     Gb           Db
With no place to go.
Db
Little soldier boy

Come marching home
Bbm
Brave soldier boy
Gb             Db
Come marching home


Db
He thought he knew
    
What he was fighting for,
Bbm
But the sight of blood
     Gb             Db
Made him question war.
Db
Poor soldier boy

Cold and alone,
Bbm
Bombs fall like rain,
Gb        Db
He's all alone.


Db
Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown
Bbm
Drifting slowly down
Gb              Db
Resting in the snow.
Db
Little soldier boy

Taken from home
Bbm
Forced to fight a war
Gb               Db
That is not his own.


Db
Leaves from the vine

Changing so slow
Bbm
Like empty, fallen souls
Gb             Db
Looking for a home.
Db
Little soldier boy

Thought that he could soar
Bbm
Brave soldier boy
Gb             Db
Died in that war.
