Chords with lyrics

C majorC          A minorAm       FF          G+G
Once in a town in the black forest a little white toy shop stood,
   C majorC             A minorAm     FF          G+G
and a little tin soldier with only one leg lived in a castle of wood.
   FF          G+G          FF      G+G
And across the room on another shelf stood a little glass case,
    C majorC        A minorAm      FF          G+G
and a tiny ballerina lived in there all in her dress of lace.


     FF           G+G
And from where the little tin soldier stood,
      FF         G+G
they could see each other oh so clear.
    C majorC          A minorAm
And the little tin soldier watched over her,
    FF         G+G
with a love that was so dear.


 A minorAm     E minorEm        A minorAm        E minorEm
Then one day sadness came the tiny ballerina was sold.
  A minorAm                    E minorEm        DmDm
The little tin soldier was thrown away, and into a gutter he rolled.
A minorAm        DmDm         A minorAm      DmDm
The water carried him to the sea and many far off lands,
A minorAm       DmDm
he made many children happy,
    FF             G+G
as he passed through their tiny hands.


   C majorC        A minorAm       C majorC          A minorAm
And then one day they met again in a house in the land of Eire.
       C majorC               A minorAm
And when the clock on the wall struck the midnight hour,
    FF   DmDm  G+G
they jumped into a fire.
  C majorC         A minorAm     C majorC        A minorAm
And in that fire - they shall stay, forever and a day,
     C majorC         A minorAm         FF    G+G    C majorC
