The Other Little Solider

INTRO: G/F# G A D 2x

VERSE 1:
           D               Bm     
He used to play in daddy's uniform
          G
 with the stripes across the sleeve
       D                Bm        
And he knew when he was all grown 
   G                    A
up what he was gonna to be
G                  D/F#      
He used to like to ambush every 
      Em              D/F#
careless cat or dog
G                     D         
That had the nerve to cross the 
Em                  A
battle lines he had drawn

G               D/F#           G
And even though he didn't know 
                         D/F#
what his dad was fighting for
G                      D/F#      
He was proud to be the other 
   Em      A
little soldier
        G/F# G A D
In this war

VERSE 2:

D                                 
The phone rang in the middle of 
                  G
the night when they called his dad 
to go
D                  Bm            
Kissed him and his mom goodbye 
       G              A
and said God I love you both
Continues after the ad
G                  D/F#          
I know that it's a lot to ask of 
Em            D/F#
such a little man
G                     D/F#       
But hold the fort and I'll be 
     Em           A
home as quickly as I can


CHORUS:

G               D/F#           G
And even though he didn't know 
                         D/F#
what his dad was fighting for
G                      D/F#      
He was proud to be the other 
   Em      A
little soldier
        G/F# G A D

BRIDGE:

G             D/F#          Em  
A wall cannot begin to hold the 
                 D/F#
names of all the kids
G                  D/F#           
Who gave the great sacrifice that 
Em              D  A
any child could give


VERSE 3:
           D                     
It was the first time he had ever 
         G
seen  a flag from up that close
       D                    Bm    
And he watched them as they folded
    G                 A
 it so careful and so slow
G                      D/F#      
As they gave it to his mother he 
     Em             D/F#
knew what he should do
G                    D           
He raised his little hand and 
      Em           A
gave his dad one last salute

what his dad was fighting for
G                      D/F#      
He was proud to be the other 
   Em
little soldier
