Listen children
G
to a story
Am
that was written
Em
long ago
F
'Bout a kingdom
C
on a mountain
D7
and the valley
G
folk below
C
On the mountain
G
was a treasure
Am
buried deep be
Em
neath a stone
F
And the valley
C
people swore they'd
D7
have it for their
G
very
C
own
C
Go ahead and hate your
Em
neighbour,
F
go ahead and cheat your
C
friend
C
Do it in the name of
Em
heaven,
F
justify it in the
C
end
There
C
won't be any trumpets
Em
blowin,
F
come the judgment
C
day
On the
C
bloody morning
F
after......
One tin
soldier rides a
C
way.
C
So the people
G
of the valley
Am
sent a message
Em
up the hill
F
Asking for the
C
buried treasure
D7
tons of gold for
G
which they'd kill
C
Came an answer
G
from the kingdom "
Am
With our brothers
Em
we will share
F
All the secrets
C
of our mountain,
D7
all the riches
G
buried
C
there."
C
Now the valley
G
cried with anger,
Am
mount your horses,
Em
draw your sword
F
and they killed the
C
mountain people
D7
so the won their
G
just reward
C
Now they stood be
G
side the treasure
Am
on the mountain,
Em
dark and red
F
turned the stone and
C
looked beneath it,
D7
"Peace on Earth" was
G
all it
C
said.
