Two Little Boys
Em Am D Em
Em Am D Em
Two little boys had two little toys, Each had a wooden horse
Em Am D Em
A boy called Jannie and a boy called John, Soldieres both of course
Em Am D Em
The Boere seuntjie Jannie galloped too fast, broke off his horses head
Em Am D Em
He wept for his toy, but then he cried for joy, when he heard his little English friend say
G Em G Em Am
Did you think I would leave you crying, when there's room on my horse for you
C D G Am D
Come up here Jannie now and stop your crying, we'll mend your horse with glue
G Em G Em Am
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers, and our horses will not be toys
C D G Em C D G
Then perhaps we'll remember, when we were two litle boys
Am D Em Am D Em
Em Am D Em
Long years past, war came at last, bravely they both marched away
Em Am D Em
Canon roared loud in that wild crowd, where wounded and dying John lay
Em Am D Em
Out from the ranks a rider did ride, out from the ranks of the boers.
Em Am D Em
He galloped away to where John lay and he heard his Boer friend say
G Em G Em Am
Did you think I would leave you dying, when there's room on my horse for two
C D G Am D
Come up here John and soon we'll be flying, together we'll get through
G Em G Em Am
You see Boetie I'm all atremble, well it may be the flash and the noise
C D G Em C D G
Or perhaps its because I remember, when we were two litle boys
C D G C D Em
when we were two litle boys, when we were two litle boys
