     G            G7         C

1. I’m just a little tin soldier in your hands,

     D                                           D7                  G

    I’m good for nothing but to obey your commands.

      G              G7    C                  Am

    You never really loved me, I know,

     D                D7             G

    so wind me up, let me go.

 

     G             G7                        C

2. I’m just a play thing till you see someone else,

      D                                  D7                G

    and then you leave me alone on a shelf.

     G                 G7                    C                        Am

    But even tin soldiers have hearts, don’t you know,

     D                D7             G

    so wind me up, let me go.

 

       C                                                    G

+  You don’t really need me, you’ve a hundred other toys,

      A                              A7                      D                     D7

    and tear drops don’t look good in the eyes of soldier boys.

 

     G               G7         C

3. So pick me up and hold me one more time,

       D                                    D7                G

    that’s just consolation for this heart of mine.

         G              G7                      C                          Am

    Whisper a sweet word to the one who loves you so,

       D                 D7             G

    then wind me up, let me go,

       D                            D7  G   - Em - G - Em

    then wind me up, let me go.

                 G   - Em - G - Em

    Let me go ….
