Soldier

[Intro:] A E G D

A                     E          
Not so long ago in a toy room not
          G
 so far away
                 D
Lived a boy who had so many toys
      A                     E
And he didn't know what to do with 
them all
          G              D
With them all, with them all

Well his favorite of all the toys 
were
The tin soldiers, the tin soldiers
And the one that he loved the most
Was the one with the missing leg

At night the toys would come alive
Or that's how the story is told
And there they met, the soldier with
 the missing leg
And the ballerina with the heart of 
gold

At night they would share each 
other's dreams
Under the stars shining bright
But they were to shy to speak of 
love
To speak of love

One day the boy sat him on the 
window sill
To watch for the enemy coming over 
the hill
But when the wind it blew it knocked
 him into the street
And the boys from the town they said

           A          G        
Won't you look at the one-legged 
   D
soldier
        A             G        D
Let's stick him in a boat and send 
him far away
          A           G       
'Cause I can't find a use for a 
   D
soldier
                A G D
With a missing leg
        C              Am        
And he was lonely, so lonely for a 
Em
friend
        C              Am        
And he was lonely, so lonely for a 
E
friend

As he floated past a river raft on 
his homemade boat
Well his boat began to sink, and he 
sank to the bottom of the river
He got swallowed by a fish, caught 
by a fisherman
Sold to the family of the boy who 
had the toy

And the cook said look at the 
one-legged soldier
It looks just like the one we lost 
the other day
Could this be the boy's tin soldier
With the missing leg?
And he was lonely, so lonely for a 
friend
And he was lonely, so lonely for a 
friend

As he sat on the mantel place to dry
 form the river
The ballerina who held his heart sat
 by his side
And when they got up to dance with 
each other
They fell by the fire blazing bright

When he jumped to save her from the 
flames
Their bases began to melt into one 
in the same
And now they share each other's 
destiny
Together forever they will be
And they are no longer lonely for a 
friend
And they are no longer lonely for a 
friend

 A                     E    
Well he had a ballerina and a 
                     G
one-legged soldier,
                       D
Stuck together at the base
        A              E
And they share each other's destiny
         G                      
As they sit on top of the mantel 
   D
place
           A          E        
It's the story of the one-legged 
   G     D
soldier
      A          E           G     D
The story of the one-legged soldier
      A           E   G          
The story of the tim soldier with
              D
 the missing leg
