Once in a [Eb] town [Fm] in the black forest, [Db] a little white toy shop [Eb] stood,
[Ab] And a little tin soldier [Fm] with only one [Db] leg, Lived in a castle [Eb] of wood.
[Db] And across the room, [Ab] [Eb] on another shelf, Stood [Db] a little [Ab] [Eb] glass case,
[Ab] And a tiny [Eb] ballerina [Fm] lived in there, [Db] All in a dress of [Eb]
lace.
[Db] And from where the [Ab] little tin [Eb] soldier stood, They [Db] could see each [Ab] other so [Eb] clear,
[Ab] And the little tin soldier [Fm] watched over her, [Db] With a love that was [Eb] so dear.
[Fm] [Abm] Then one [Cm] day, sadness [Abm] came, the tiny [Eb] ballerina [Cm] was so,
[Abm] The little tin soldier was thrown away, [Cm] And into the gutter [Bbm] he roamed.
The water carried [Fm] him to the sea, [Bbm] And many far off [Fm] lands,
[Bbm] He made many [Fm] children happy, [Bbm] As he passed through their [Fm] tiny hands.
[Ab] And then one day [Fm] they met [Gm] again, [Ab] In a house in the land [Fm] of Aya,
And when [Ab] the clocks on the wall [Eb] struck [Fm] the midnight hour,
[Db] They jumped [Gb] into [Eb] a fire, [Ab] And in that [Eb] fire [Fm] they shall [Bb] stay,
[Ab] Forever and a [Fm] day, [Gm]
[Ab] For the fire, Lord, [Fm] is the fire of love,
[Db] Just like [Eb] the peaceful [Fm] dove.
