One Tin Soldier Chords - Peter Paul And Mary






Great Song. Hope you like it.

Verse I
CGAmEm
Listen children to a story that was written long ago
F   CFG
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain, and the valley folk below
CGAm     Em
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone
FCF       C
And the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.

(Chorus:)
C       Em         FG
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend
CEm   FG
Do it in the name of heaven, you can justify it in the end
CEm  FC
There won't be any trumpets blowing, come the judgment day
No Chord FC
On the bloody morning after - one tin soldier rides away.

Verse II
CGAmEm
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
FC   FG
Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill
C   GAm
Came an answer from the kingdom: With our brothers we will share
FC    FC
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there.

Chorus

Verse III
C   G    Am   Em
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword!
F        C FG
And they killed the mountain people, sure theyd won their just reward
C GAm Em
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain dark and red
FC
Turned the stone and looked beneath it - 
FC
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Chorus
