| G | Em | C | D |
| Once in a town in the | Blackforest a | little white toy shop | stood, |
| G | Em | C | D |
And a | little tin soldier with | only one leg | lived in a castle of | wood. |
| C | D | C | D |
And | across the room on an | other shelve stood a | tiny glass | case, |
| G | Em | C | | D |
And a | tiny ballerina | lived in there | - | all in a dress of | lace. |
| C | D | C | D |
And | from where the little tin | soldier stood they could | see each other so | clear, |
| G | Em | C | D |
And the | little tin soldier watched | over her | with a love so deep and | dear. |
| Gm | Bm | Gm | Bm |
| Then one day, | sadness came. | The tiny ballerina was | sold. |
| Gm | Bm | Am |
| The little tin soldier was thrown away, and | into the gutter he | rolled. |
| Am | Em | Am | Em |
| The water carried him | to the sea and | many far-off | lands; |
| Am | Em | Am | Em |
| He made many | children happy as he | passed through their tiny | hands |
| G | Em | G | Em |
And | then one day they | met again in a | town in the land of | Eire. |
| G | Em | C | Am | D |
And as the | clocks on the wall struck the | midnight hour they | jumped in | to the | fire. |
| G | Em | G | Em |
And | in that fire | they shall stay, Lord, for | ever and a | day. |
| G | Em | C | D | intro |
'Cause that | fire, oh Lord, is the | fire of love, just | like the | peace of | thy. |
