| C | G | Am | |
| Listen children | to a story | that was written long ago |
| F | C | F | G | |
| 'Bout a kingdom on | a mountain, | and the valley folk be | low |
| C | G | Am | |
| On the mountain | was a treasure b | uried deep beneath a stone |
| F | C | F | C | |
| And the valley p | eople swore they'd | have it for their very | own. |
| (Chorus:) |
| C | G | F | C | |
| Go ahead and hate your | neighbour, | go ahead and cheat a | friend |
| C | G | F | C | |
| Do it in the name of | heaven, you can | justify it in the e | nd |
| C | G | F | C | |
| There won't be any trumpets | blowing, | come the judgment | day |
| C | F | C | |
| On | the bloody morning | after -(no chord) one tin soldier rides | away. |
| Verse II |
| C | G | Am | |
| So the people | of the valley | sent a message up the hill |
| F | C | F | G | |
| Asking for the | buried treasure, | tons of gold for which they'd | kill |
| C | G | Am | |
| Came an answer | from the kingdom: | With our brothers we will share |
| F | C | F | C | |
| All the secrets | of our mountain, | all the riches buried t | here. |
| Chorus |
| Verse III |
| C | G | Am | |
| Now the valley | cried with anger, | mount your horses, draw your sword! |
| F | C | F | G | |
| And they killed the | mountain people, | so they won their just re | ward |
| C | G | Am | |
| Now they stood be | side the treasure | on the mountain dark and red |
| F | C | |
| Turned the stone and | looked beneath it - |
| F | C | |
| "Peace on Earth" was all it said | . |
| Chorus |
