Original key is Ab. To play along with the studio version transpose -4.  Or put a capo on 1 and transpose -5. [Verse 1] Once in a town in the black forest a little white toy shop stood and a little tin soldier with only one leg lived in a castle of wood. And across the room on another shelf stood a little glass case and a tiny ballerina lived in there all in her dress of lace. [Chorus] And from where the little tin soldier stood they could see each other oh so clear. And the little tin soldier watched over her with a love that was so dear. [Bridge] Then one day sadness came the tiny ballerina was sold. The little tin soldier was thrown away and into a gutter he rolled. The water carried him to the sea and many far off lands he made many children happy as he passed through their tiny hands. [Verse 2] And then one day they met again in a house in the land of Eire. And when the clock on the wall struck the midnight hour they jumped into a fire. And in that fire - they shall stay forever and a day and the fire Lord is the fire of love just like the peaceful dove.
