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

Come marching home
Fm
Brave soldier boy
Db             Ab
Come marching home


Ab
Ash in the snow

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

Come marching home
Fm
Brave soldier boy
Db             Ab
Come marching home


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

Cold and alone,
Fm
Bombs fall like rain,
Db        Ab
He's all alone.


Ab
Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown
Fm
Drifting slowly down
Db              Ab
Resting in the snow.
Ab
Little soldier boy

Taken from home
Fm
Forced to fight a war
Db               Ab
That is not his own.


Ab
Leaves from the vine

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

Thought that he could soar
Fm
Brave soldier boy
Db             Ab
Died in that war.
