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

Come marching home
Em
Brave soldier boy
C             G
Come marching home


G
Ash in the snow

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

Come marching home
Em
Brave soldier boy
C             G
Come marching home


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

Cold and alone,
Em
Bombs fall like rain,
C        G
He's all alone.


G
Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown
Em
Drifting slowly down
C              G
Resting in the snow.
G
Little soldier boy

Taken from home
Em
Forced to fight a war
C               G
That is not his own.


G
Leaves from the vine

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

Thought that he could soar
Em
Brave soldier boy
C             G
Died in that war.
