One tin soldier

• F

F               C          Dm 
Listen children to a story that was written long ago 
Bb              F             Gm7 
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below 
F               C              Dm 
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone 
Bb             F                   Gm7                     F   Bb    F 
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own 
 
CORUS: 
                       Am         Bb                        F 
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend 
                     Am      Bb                  F 
Do it in the name of heaven, You can justify it in the end 
                            Am      Bb                   F 
There won't be any trumpets blowin, come the judgement day 
                      Bb          
On the bloody morning after...... 
        Bb                   F        Bb 
One tin soldier rides away. 
 
 
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill 
Asking for the buried treasure tons of gold for which they'd kill 
Came an answer from the kingdom "With our brothers we wil share 
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there." 
Chorus 
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword 
and they killed the mountain people so the won their just reward 
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red 
turned the stone and looked beneath it, "Peace on Earth" was all it said. 
Chorus
