ONE TIN SOLDIER COVEN Prepared by Mike Martin
C G Am Em
Listen children to a story
that was written long ago
F C D7 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 D7 G C
And the valley people swore
they'd have it for their very own
CHORUS:
C Em F C
Go ahead and hate your neighbour, go ahead and cheat your friend
C Em F C
Do it in the name of heaven,
justify it in the end
C Em F C
There won't be any trumpets blowin, come the judgment day
C F
On the
bloody morning after......
C
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
