- - Little Soldier Boy - -


AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

Book 2      -  Earth
Chapter 15  -  The Tales of Ba Sing Se [The Tale of Iroh]


Little Soldier Boy
- It is played on-screen by Iroh using a liuqin, which is a type of lute
- It's quite loosely played, so don't worry about following the tab note for note
- During 5-/-2, you can pause briefly on the 3, to match how it's sung

Little Soldier Boy (Reprise)
- The second time it plays in the background as Iroh mourns his deceased son Lu Ten
- Unlike the 1st version, this just has one run that is played the same every time
- This scene is easily the most emotional moment in the entire show

Backing
- If you have a second guitar, this can accompany the main tune (both versions)
- The second version however doesn't have the first and last chords
- It doesn't in the song, but you can end with the chord xx7x10x
