 C               G      Am                     Em 
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                  Em 
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
 F               C                      F                     C 
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.


[Chorus]

 C                           Em          F                             G 
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend
 C                       Em                F           G 
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                         F                      C 
On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.


[Verse 2]

 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             
Came an answer from the kingdom: “With our brothers we will share
 F               C                  F                  C 
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.”


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]

 C                  G               Am                    Em  
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword!
 F                       C                       F                             G 
And they killed the mountain people, sure they’d won their just reward
 C                G                     Am              Em 
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red
 F                       C 
Turned the stone and looked beneath it - 
 F                               C 
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.


[Chorus]

 C                           Em          F                             G 
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend
 C                       Em                F           G 
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                         F                      C 
On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.
