Two Little Boys

Key of G · Chords: I II IV V

Verse 1

G
Two little boys had two little toys
           G7     C
Each had a wooden horse
                      G
Gaily they played, on a summer’s day
A                D
Warriors both of course
    G
One little chap then had a mishap
              G7      C
Broke off his horse's head
                  G
Wept for his toy, but cried with joy
     A            D       G
When he heard his brother say:

Chorus 1

     G                 C         G
"Did you think I would leave you crying
                        G7        C
When there's room on my horse for two?
                                   G
Climb up here, Jack, and stop your crying
      A                       D
We’ll mend up your horse with glue
        G              C       G
When we grow up, we'll both be soldiers
                    G7     C
And our horses will not be toys
                   G
And maybe you will remember
     A       D          G
When we were two little boys"

Verse 2

G
Long years passed, war came at last
             G7      C
Bravely they marched away
                    G
Cannon roared loud, midst that wild crowd
      A                     D
Where wounded and dying Joe lay
G
Then came a cry, a rider dashed by
             G7       C
Out from the ranks of blue
                 G
Galloped away to where Joe lay
     A            D       G
When he heard his brother say:

Chorus 2

     G                 C         G
"Did you think I would leave you dying
                        G7        C
When there's room on my horse for two?
                                   G
Climb up here, Jack, we'll soon be flying
       A                    D
To the ranks of the boys in blue
      G             C       G
Can’t you see Jack, I'm all a-tremble?
              G7            C
It may be the flash and the noise
                       G
Or it may be because I remember
     A       D          G
When we were two little boys"
