[Intro]
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
[Instrumental]
C F G C
[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
