Leaves From the Vine (shamisen)

Here are four variations of "Leaves From the Vine" from Avatar: The Last Airbender, composed by Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn, lyrics by Michael Dante DiMartino. I hope, despite lack of a good mic, it communicates the story of Lu Ten, Iroh’s son. A young man who grew up under an imperial flag learning about the greatness of military conquest but in the end succumb to it. How man have fallen in such footsteps?
Lyrics:
Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home

I find shamisen is a great instrument to learn by ear. As long as the melody isn't too complex I like to figure it out.
