F5               C5          D5 
Listen children to a story that was written long ago 
Bb5              F5             G5 
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below 
F5               C5              D5 
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone 
Bb5             F5                   G5                     F5   Bb5    F5 
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own 
 
CORUS: 
                       A5         Bb5                        F5 
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend 
                     A5      Bb5                  F5 
Do it in the name of heaven, You can justify it in the end 
                            A5      Bb5                   F5 
There won't be any trumpets blowin, come the judgement day 
                      Bb5          
On the bloody morning after...... 
        Bb5                   F5        Bb5 
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 they'd kill 
Came an answer from the kingdom "With our brothers we wil share 
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there." 
Chorus 
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword 
and they killed the mountain people so the 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. 
Chorus
