Written By Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter

(opening chords after flute)
F C 

C                 G 
Listen, children, to a story
Am               G 
That was written long ago
F               C 
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
G 
And the valley folk below

C 
On the mountain was a treasure
Am          G 
Buried deep beneath a stone
F             C
And the valley people swore
Dm                            C 
They'd have it for their very own

C                      Em 
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
F                    C 
Go ahead and cheat a friend
C                   Em 
Do it in the name of Heaven
F                     C 
You can justify it in the end
C                           Em 
There won't be any trumpets blowing
F                 C 
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after who...
                            C 
One tin soldier rides away

C               G 
So, the people of the valley
Am              G 
Sent a message up the hill
F              C 
Asking for the buried treasure,
Dm                 G             
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
C                   G 
Came an answer from the kingdom,
Am 
"With our brothers, we will share
F               C 
All the secrets of our mountain,
Dm                    C 
All the riches buried there"

Db 
Now, the valley cried with anger,
Dbm 
"Mount your horses, draw your sword!"
F#                          Db 
And they killed the mountain people
Ebm                    Ab 
So, they won their just reward
Db                     Ab
Now, they stood beside the treasure
Bbm  
On the mountain dark and red
F#               Db 
Turn the stone and looked beneath it...
F#                   Db 
"Peace on Earth" was all it said

F#         
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
                   Db 
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Db                   F  
Do it in the name of Heaven
F#                Ebm   
You can justify it in the end
Db                         Fm 
There won't be any trumpets blowing
F#              Db 
Come the judgment day
Db
On the bloody morning after who...
                            Db
One tin soldier rides away 

Db                Fm 
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
F#                 Dbm 
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Db                 Ab 
Do it in the name of Heaven
 F#                Db 
You can justify it in the end
Db                         Fm 
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Fm             F#       
Come the judgment day
Db 
On the bloody morning after who...
One tin soldier rides away
