ONE TIN SOLDIER


  C              G           AM
listen children to a story that was written long ago
 F               C            DM             G7
bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below
 C                G              AM           
on the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
 F                DM                G    C
and the valley people swore theyd have it for their very own

CHORUS:
 C                         EM    F                      C
go ahead and hate your neighbor go ahead and cheat a friend
                         EM    F               C
do it in the name of heaven. justify it in the end
                              EM   F                  C
there wont be any trumpets blowin come the judgement day
                      F                AM      G7  C
on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away


so the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
asking for the buried treasure tons of gold for which theyd kill
came an answer from the kingdom "with our brother we will share
all the secrets of our mountain, all the riches in buried there

now the velley cried with anger mount your horses, draw your sword
and they killed the mountain people so they won their just reward
now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red
turned the stone and looked beneath it "peace on earth" was all it said
