The Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers

	  		Intro 
(trumpets) 


Verse 1:
 
    A                E 
The toy shop door is locked up tight 
    A             E 
And everything is quiet for the night 
     A 
When suddenly 
    E 
The clock strikes twelve 
    Bm      E 
The fun's begun 



    A                  E 
The dolls are in their best arrayed 
        A             E 
There's going to be a wonderful parade 
     A 
Hark to the drum 
    E 
Oh, here they come 
      Bm   E   A 
Cries everyone 



Post-Chorus
A 
Hear them all cheering 
A 
Now they are nearing 
                    E 
There's the captain stiff as starch 
                    E 
Bayonet's flashing, Music is crashing 
              A 
As the wooden soldiers march 

Verse 2:
 
A 
Sabres a-clinking 
A 
Soldiers a-winking 
               Dbm 
At each pretty little maid 
Dbm 
Here they come, here they come 
A               Dbm 
Here they come, here they come
