Little Play Soldiers, Martin Cooper

Two little |
soldiers, and their |
games are |
such |
fun, |
Bm |
C |
D |
Each with his |
helmet and |
little toy gun, |
G Bm C G |
Pretending hes lying, on the battlefield dead, |
C G D G |
After hes tucked away safe in his bed. |
Bm C G |
Little play soldiers, if only you knew, |
C G D G |
What kind of battles are waiting for you. |
Quiet, dont disturb all the innocence of youth.
Tell them not to lie, but never tell them the truth,
That men will fall and die while little boys grow,
For little play solders are too busy to know.
Little play soldiers, if only you knew,
What kind of battles are waiting for you.
Little white crosses, and their rows are so long.
How will it end if you dont know its wrong.
For little play solders will never know, why
We love them, and kiss them, and send them to die.
Little play soldiers, if only you knew,
What kind of battles are waiting for you.
