A               E       A
One toy soldier stands alone
                   E      A
With his drum down by his side
A               E      A
One toy soldier on his own
                 E        A
With his drum to keep the time
 
   D         A       E        A
He keeps the beat of marching feet
   D         A       E
He keeps the beat so true
     D         A       E         A
He's one small toy for one small boy
        D        E     A
But his heart is oh so blue
 
A               E      A
Who can mend my broken drum
              E       A
Will it be as good as new
A                E       A
I must play when morning comes
                 E       A
If I don't, what shall I do?
 
   D         A       E        A
He keeps the beat of marching feet
   D         A      E
He keeps the beat inside
      D        A         E         A
While children sleep, in dreams so deep
          D      E       A
There's a secret he must hide
 
       D         A       E        A
For he keeps the beat of marching feet
   D         A       E
He keeps the beat so true
   D        A        E        A
He wants to sing and hopes to bring
      D         E      A    Bb
Happy Christmas day to you
