Verse I
[C] [G] [Am]
Listen [Em]children to a story that was written long ago
[F] [C] [Dm]
'Bout a kingdom [G7]on a mountain, and the valley folk below
[C] [G] [Am]
On the mountain wa[Em]s a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
[F] [C]
[Dm]And the valley people swor[G]e they[C]'d have it for their very own.
(Chorus:)
[C] [Em][F]
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go[G] ahead and cheat a friend
[C] [Em]
[F]Do it in the name of heave[G]n, you can justify it in the end
[C] [Em]
[F]There won't be any trumpets blowi[C]ng, come the judgment day
N/C F
On the bloody mornin[C]g after - one tin soldier rides away.
Verse II
[C] [G] [Am]
So the p[Em]eople of the valley sent a message up the hill
[F] [C] [Dm]
Asking for the bur[G7]ied treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill
[C]Came an answer from the kingdom[G]: ?With our brothers we will share[Am]
[F] [C] [Dm]
All the secret[G]s of our moun[C]tain, all the riches buried there.?
Chorus
Verse III
[C] [G] [Am]
Now the valley cried with a[Em]nger, mount your horses, draw your sword!
[F] [C]
[Dm]And they killed the mountain people[G7], sure they?d won their just reward
[C] [G]
[Am]Now they stood beside the [Em]treasure on the mountain dark and red
[F]Turned the stone and looked beneath it -[C]
[Dm]"Peace on Earth" was all it said.[G][C]
