  			G 
Two Little Boys - had two little toys  
	G7	C 
Each had a wooden horse   
			G 
Gaily they played - each summer day   
A		D 
Warriors both - of course  
G 
One little chap - had a mishap  
		G7	C 
broke off his horse's head   
			G 
Wept for his toy - then cried with joy   
A		D	G 
When he heard his brother say:  
  
		C		G 
Do you think I could leave you cryin'  
			G7	C 
When there's room on my horse for two 
			G 
Climb up here, Jack - stop your cryin'   
A			D		 
We'll go just as fast with two  
	G		C	G 
When we grow up - we'll both be soldiers  
		G7	C 
Our horses will not be toys   
			G 
And I wonder if we'll remember   
A	D		G	 
When we were Two Little Boys."  
  
G 
Long years passed - war came so fast 
	G7		C  
Bravely they marched away 
			G  
Cannons roared loud and in the mad crowd  
A		D 
wounded and dyin' - lay  
G 
Up comes a chout a horse dashes out  
		G7	C 
Out from the ranks so Blue 
			G  
Galloped away - to where Joe lay  
A		D	G 
Then came a voice he knew  

		C		G 
Did you think I would leave you dyin'  
			G7	C 
When there's room on my horse for two  
			G 
Climb up here, Joe - we'll soon be flyin'  
A		D 
Home to the ranks so Blue  
	G		C	G 
Can you see, Jack I'm all a-tremble  
		G7		C	 
Perhaps it's the battles noise  
			G 
But I think it is that I remember 
A	D		G  
When we were two little boys.
