Listen children to a story that was written long ago

                G5
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain, and the valley folk below
C5                             G5                        A5     
                  E5
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
F5                          C5

And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend

F5                         G5
Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end
C5                                                  E5             
F5                                C5
There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgment day
N/C5                                            F5

On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.

        E5
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
F5                          C5                          D5      
                  G5
Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill
C5                              G5                                 A5
Came an answer from the kingdom: ?With our brothers we will share
F5                         C5                            D5     
              G5            C5
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.?

C5                          G5                            A5    
                           E5
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword!
F5                                 C5                              
D5                                 G5
And they killed the mountain people, sure they?d won their just reward
C5                                  G5                          
A5                        E5
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red
F5                                        C5
Turned the stone and looked beneath it -
D5                                 G5      C5
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.
