One Tin Soldier

• C

Great Song. Hope you like it.

Verse I
C		G	Am			Em
Listen children to a story that was written long ago
F		   C			F		G
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain, and the valley folk below
C		G		Am		     Em
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
F		C			F		       C
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.

(Chorus:)
C   			    Em	         F				G
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend
C			Em		   F		G
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 judgment day
No Chord			 F			C
On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.

Verse II
C		G		Am		Em
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
F		C		   F				G
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
F		C		    F			C
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.”

Chorus

Verse III
C		   G		    Am			   Em	
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword!
F		        C			 F				G
And they killed the mountain people, sure they’d won their just reward
C		 G			Am		 Em
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red
F			C
Turned the stone and looked beneath it - 
F				C
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Chorus
