Soldier(Chords)

	        Intro:   A   E   G   D  (Repeat) 
A                    E                      G
Not so long ago in a toy room not 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
         A           E                         G                 D
Well his favorite of all the toys were the tin soldiers, the tin soldiers
A                   E                      G                    E
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
(Guitar Starts)
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          D       Dsus4
Won't you look at the one-legged soldier
      A              G        D            Dsus4
Let's stick him in a boat and send him far away
         A            G         D      Dsus4
'Cause I can't find a use for a soldier
               A     G    D    Dsus4
With a missing leg  

Prechorus: (progression stays the same as above afterwards)
          C           Am           Em
And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend
          C           Am           E
And he was lonely, so lonely for a friend

Back to progression:
      A              G          D   Dsus4
As he floated past a river raft
       A           G    D   Dsus4
On his homemade boat
         A             G            D                         Dsus4
Well his boat began to sink, and he sank to the bottom of the river
       A                    G
He got swallowed by a fish, caught by a fisherman
D                                         D
Sold to the family of the boy who had the toy
                  A           G          D      Dsus4
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?
           C         Am            Em     
But he was lonely, so lonely for a friend
But he was lonely, so lonely for a friend

      A          G               D            Dsus4
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
            C          Am           Em  
And they are no longer lonely for a friend
And they are no longer lonely for a friend
 A                    E                   G
  Not so long ago in a toy room not so far away
                D
Lived a boy who had so many toys 
And he played with them all 
With them all, with them all
Well he had a ballerina and a one-legged soldier, stuck together at the base
And they share each other's destiny as they sit on top of the mantel place
It's the story of the one-legged soldier
The story of the one-legged soldier           D
The story of the tim soldier with the missing leg
