v.1
^GListen children ^Dto a story ^Emthat was written ^Bmlong ago
^CAbout a kingdom ^Gon a mountain, ^Cand the valley ^Dfar below
^GOn the mountain ^Dwas a treasure ^Emburied deep be^Bmneath the stone
^CAnd the valley ^Gpeople swore they'd ^Chave it for their ^Dvery ^Gown

Chorus:
^GGo ahead and hate your ^Dneighbor, ^Cgo ahead and cheat a ^Gfriend
^GDo it in the name of ^Dheaven, you can ^Cjustify it in the ^Gend
^GThere won't be any trumpets ^Dblowin' ^Ccome the Judgement ^GDay
^GOn the bloody mornin' after, ^Cooh-hoo... one tin soldier rides a^Gway

v.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 an answer from the kingdom, with our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there

v.3
Now the valley cries 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
