Leaves from the vine
A augmentedA
Falling so slow

Like fragile, tiny shells
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Drifting in the foam.
A augmentedA
Little soldier boy
A augmentedA
Come marching home
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Brave soldier boy
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Come marching home
A augmentedA
Ash in the snow
A augmentedA
Falling so slow
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Like fragile, broken hearts
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
With no place to go.

Little soldier boy
A augmentedA
Come marching home
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Brave soldier boy
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Come marching home
A augmentedA
He thought he knew

What he was fighting for,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
But the sight of blood

Made him question war.
A augmentedA
Poor soldier boy
A augmentedA
Cold and alone,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Bombs fall like rain,
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
He's all alone.
A augmentedA
Those leaves did grow
A augmentedA
From branches overgrown
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Drifting slowly down
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Resting in the snow.
A augmentedA
Little soldier boy
A augmentedA
Taken from home
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Forced to fight a war
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
That is not his own.
A augmentedA
Leaves from the vine
A augmentedA
Changing so slow
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Like empty, fallen souls
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Looking for a home.
A augmentedA
Little soldier boy
A augmentedA
Thought that he could soar
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Brave soldier boy
Esus4Esus4 A augmentedA
Died in their war.
