One Tin Soldier

Verse I CGAm Em Listen children to a story that was written long ago FCDm G7 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain, and the valley folk below CGAm Em On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone FC Dm G C And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own. (Chorus:) CFm G Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend CEm F G Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end CEm F C There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgment day N/C F C On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away. Verse II CGAm Em So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill FCDm G7 Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill C G Am Came an answer from the kingdom: ?With our brothers we will share FCDm G C All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.? Chorus Verse III CGAm Em Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword! FC Dm G7 And they killed the mountain people, sure they?d won their just reward CG Am Em Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red F C Turned the stone and looked beneath it - Dm C "Peace on Earth" was all it said.
