C G Am Em
Listen children to a story, that was written long ago..
F C F G
about a kingdom, on a mountain, and the valley folk below.
C G Am Em
On the mountian was a treasure, buried deep beneath a stone..
F C F 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 Judgement Day..
C F C
On the bloody morning after..one tin soldier rides away.

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 Em
Came an answer from the kingdom, 'With our brothers we will share,
F C F G C
all the secrets of our mountain..all the riches buried there.'
