One Tin Soldier

• C

Intro: C G Am Em F C Dm 
G C

C               G           Am               Am/G
Listen children to a story, that was written long ago
 F              C              Dm           F     G
About a kingdom on a mountain, and a valley far below
C               G               Am              Am/G
On the mountain was a treasure, buried deep beneath the stone
F              C                    Dm                
   C  F-F-C
And the valley people swore, they'd have it for their very own

<< Chorus >>
C                       Em        F                     C
Go ahead and hate your neighbour, go ahead and cheat a friend
C                    Em              F                 C
Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end
      C                     Em       F                  C
There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgement day
       Am             F                                   C   F-F-C
On the bloody morning after-er-er, 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 will share
All the secrets of the mountain, all the riches buried there

<< Repeat Chorus >>

C#             G#                Bbm
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses draw your swords
F#                  C#               D#m               
  G#
And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward
C#             G#                   Bbm
Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red
F#                   C#                D#m                    
        C#
Turned the stone and looked beneath it,    "Peace on Earth" was all it said
F#-F#-C#
