One Tin Soldier 
By: Coven
Tabs: Zach G-Bergs

Verse 1
C	          G
Listen, children, to a story
Am		 Em
That was written long ago
F	        C
About a kingdom on a mountain
Dm	     G
And a valley folk below
C		G
On the mountain was a treasure
Am 	       Em
Buried deep beneath a stone
F	       C
And the valley people swore
Dm                      G     C
They'd have it for their very own

Chorus:
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 blowin?
F                C
Come to judgment day
       C               F
On the bloody morning after
        Am      G7    C
One tin soldier rides away.

Verse 2
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 the answer from the kingdom
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain
All the riches buried there.

Verse 3
Now the valley cried in anger
'Mount your horses! Draw your swords!'
And they killed the mountain people
Swore they'd won their just reward.
Down 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.
