x[Verse 1] C G Am C 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 C On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone F C F G C C 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 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 No Chord C G F G C C F C On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away. [Verse 2] C G Am C 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 C Came an answer from the kingdom: “With our brothers we will share F C F G C C F C All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.” [Chorus] [Verse 3] C G Am C Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword! F C F C G And they killed the mountain people, sure they’d won their just reward C G Am C Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red F C Turned the stone and looked beneath it - F G C C F C "Peace on Earth" was all it said. [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 No Chord C G F G C C F C On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.
