_ _ _ Once in a town [C#m] in the black forest, a [A] little white toy [B] shop stood,
[E] and a little tin [D#m] soldier [C#m] with only one [A] leg _ lived in a [B] castle of woe. _ _ _
[A] And across the room [B] on another shelf [A] stood a little _ [B] glass case,
[E] and a tiny ballerina [C#m] _ lived in [A] there, _ all in a [B] dress of _ _ lace.
_ [A] And from where the little tin [B] soldier [E] stood they [A] could see each other [B] so clear,
[E] and the little tin [G#m] soldier [C#m] watched over her [A] with a love that [C#m] was [B] so dear. _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ Then one [G#m] day sadness came, [Em] the tiny ballerina [G#m]
was sold,
the [Em] little tin soldier was thrown away [G#m] and into the [F#m] gutter he rode. _ _ _ _ _
The water carried [C#m] him to the sea [F#m] and many [C#m] far off lands.
[F#m] He made [C#m] many children happy [F#m] as he passed through their [C#m] tiny _ hands.
[E] But then one day [C#m] they met [G#m] again [E] in a house in the [C#m] land of ire,
and [E] when the clock on the wall [C#m] struck the midnight hour, they [A] _ jumped [D] into _ _
[B] a _ fire. _ _ _
[E] And in this fire, [C#m] oh, they will stay [E] _ forever [C#m] and a day,
[E] for the fire, [C#m] Lord, is the fire of love, [A] just like [D] the _ _
[E] _ [B] peaceful _ [E] _ dove. _
