[C]Listen children [G]to a story [Am]that was written long ago


[F]'Bout a kingdom [C]on a mountain [Dm7]and the valley folk below


[C]On the mountain [G]was a treasure [Am]buried deep beneath a stone


[F]And the valley [C]people swore they'd [Dm7]have it for their very o[C]wn


CORUS:


Go ahead and hate your [Em]neighbour, [F]go ahead and cheat a frien[C]d


Do it in the name of [Em]heaven, [F]justify it in the en[C]d


There won't be any trumpets [Em]blowin, [F]come the judgement da[C]y


                      Bb         


On the bloody morning after......


One tin [F]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
