One Tin Soldier Tab

by Original Cast


Intro:        
 

                                         
Listen children to a story, that was written long ago
                                             
About a kingdom on a mountain, and a valley far below
                                            
On the mountain was a treasure, buried deep beneath the stone
                                                  
     --
And the valley people swore, they'd have it for their very own

<< Chorus >>
                                                    
Go ahead and hate your neighbour, go ahead and cheat a friend
                                                   
Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end
                                                    
There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgement day
                                                          --
On the bloody morning after-er-er, 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 will share
All the secrets of the mountain, all the riches buried there

<< Repeat Chorus >>

(key Change)

Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses draw your swords
                                                
  
And they killed the mountain people, so they 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
