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

Come marching home
Cm
Brave soldier boy
Ab             Eb
Come marching home


Eb
Ash in the snow

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

Come marching home
Cm
Brave soldier boy
Ab             Eb
Come marching home


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

Cold and alone,
Cm
Bombs fall like rain,
Ab        Eb
He's all alone.


Eb
Those leaves did grow

From branches overgrown
Cm
Drifting slowly down
Ab              Eb
Resting in the snow.
Eb
Little soldier boy

Taken from home
Cm
Forced to fight a war
Ab               Eb
That is not his own.


Eb
Leaves from the vine

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

Thought that he could soar
Cm
Brave soldier boy
Ab             Eb
Died in that war.
