| ONE TIN SOLDIER |
| C G Am C Listen children to a story that was written long ago F C Dm G7 ‘Bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below C G Am C On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone F C Dm G C And the valley people swore they’d have it for their very own CHORUS: C Em F C Go ahead and hate your neighbor, 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 judgment day F C On the bloody morning after, one tin soldier rides away CHORUS 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 mountain, with our brothers we will share All the riches of our mountain, all the treasure buried there CHORUS So the valley cried with anger, mount your horses draw your swords And they killed the mountain people so they won their just rewards Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and reed Turned the stone and looked beneath it: “Peace on Earth” was all it said. |
