Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier
C G
Mommy says that it's time for sleep
F Em Am E Am
If my folks were wiser and older
Am D Am G
They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep
[Verse 2]
C G C
Don't be bad little cotton dolly
C G C
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
F F#m C Am Dm D Dm E
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise
A Dm G C
Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys
[Speaking]
C G C
Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer
C C C
Sled, and a big bag of toys and he'll come to your house this year too
F Dm Em Am E Am
But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn't have enough time to see every little boy and girl
Because the world is so big
Dm D Am Dm D G
So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn't visit
[Verse 3]
C G C
Bless the child who has no tin soldier
C G C
No brass drummer boy to put to bed
F Em A Am E Am
He will still grow wiser and older
D Am G
Loving one small rag doll instead
[Verse 4]
C G C
He won't have a cotton dolly
C G C
Mickey Mouse won't come to his house
F F#m C Am Dm E
Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy
A Dm Am G Dm G C
The beauty one child finds in one small toy
