Great Song. Hope you like it.
Verse I
CListeGn cAmhildren Emto a story that was written long ago
F'Bout a CkingdomF on aG mountain, and the valley folk below
COn thGe mouAmntain was aEm treasure buried deep beneath a stone
FAnd tChe vallFey people swCore they'd have it for their very own.
(Chorus:)
CGo ahead and hEmate your neigFhbor, go Gahead and cheat a friend
CDo it iEmn the namFe of Gheaven, you can justify it in the end
CThere wonEm't be Fany truCmpets blowing, come the judgment day
No Chord F C
On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.
Verse II
CSo thGe peoAmple ofEm the valley sent a message up the hill
FAskinCg for thFe buried Gtreasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill
CCame an Ganswer Amfrom the kingdom: “With our brothers we will share
FAll tChe secretFs of ouCr mountain, all the riches buried there.”
Chorus
Verse III
CNow the Gvalley crAmied with anEmger, mount your horses, draw your sword!
FAnd they killCed the mFountain pGeople, sure they’d won their just reward
CNow thGey stooAmd besidEme the treasure on the mountain dark and red
FTurned Cthe stone and looked beneath it -
F"PeaCce on Earth" was all it said.
Chorus
