Verse I D A/C# Bm Bm/A Listen children to a story that was written long ago G D Em7 Em7/A 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain, and the valley folk below D A/C# Bm Bm/A On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone G D Em7 Em7/A And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own. (Chorus:) D F#m G A Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend D F#m G A Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end D F#m G D There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgment day G No Chord On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away. Verse II D A/C# Bm Bm/A So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill G D Em7 Em7/A Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill D A/C# Bm Bm/A Came an answer from the kingdom: “With our brothers we will share G D Em7 Em7/A All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.” Chorus Verse III D A/C# Bm Bm/A Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword! G D Em7 Em7/A And they killed the mountain people, sure they’d won their just reward D A/C# Bm Bm/A Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red G D Turned the stone and looked beneath it - Em7 Em7/A "Peace on Earth" was all it said. Chorus
