Leaves from the vine
Gb
Falling so slow
      Ebm
Like fragile, tiny shells
B               Gb
Drifting in the foam.

Little soldier boy

Come marching home
Ebm
Brave soldier boy
B             Gb
Come marching home


Gb
Ash in the snow

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

Come marching home
Ebm
Brave soldier boy
B             Gb
Come marching home

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

Cold and alone,
Ebm
Bombs fall like rain,
B        Gb
He's all alone.

Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown
Ebm
Drifting slowly down
B              Gb
Resting in the snow.
Gb
Little soldier boy

Taken from home
Ebm
Forced to fight a war
B               Gb
That is not his own.


Gb
Leaves from the vine

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

Thought that he could soar
Ebm
Brave soldier boy
B             Gb
Died in that war.
