Little Play Soldiers

C  Em  F  C

[Verse]
           Em              F              C
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun
              Em         F          G    C
Each with his helmet and little toy gun
                   Em         F           C
Pretending they're lying on a battlefield dead
F             C           G             C
After they're tucked away safe in their bed

[Chorus]
            Em          F        C
Little play soldiers if only you knew
F            C           G           C
What kind of battles are waiting for you

[Verse]
                Em            F            C
Quiet, don't disturb all that innocence of youth
                 Em             F             G
Tell them not to lie, but never tell them the truth
     C                 Em         F           C
That men will fall and die, while little boys grow
    F           C               G        C
But little play soldiers are too busy to know

[Chorus]
            Em          F        C
Little play soldiers if only you knew
F            C           G           C
What kind of battles are waiting for you

[Verse]
             Em                F           C
Little white crosses and their rows are so long
            Em F                       G      C
How will it end if you don't know it's wrong?
            Em            F          C
Little play soldiers just never know why
    F             C            G             C
You love them and kiss them and send them to die

[Verse]
           Em              F              C
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun
              Em         F          G
Each with his helmet and little toy gun
C              Em          F           C
Soon they will lie on some battlefield dead
  F                C    G             C
Instead of tucked away, safe in their bed

[Chorus]
            Em          F        C
Little play soldiers if only you knew
F            C           G           C
What kind of battles are waiting for you

[Chorus]
Am             Em           F        C
All you little soldiers, if only you knew
F            C           G           C
What kind of battles are waiting for you
