ONE TIN SOLDIER - COVEN
FListen children Cto a story Dmthat was written long ago
Bb'Bout a kingdom Fon a mountain Gm7and the valley folk below
FOn the mountain Cwas a treasure Dmburied deep beneath a stone
BbAnd the valley Fpeople swore they'd Gm7have it for their very oFwnBb  F  
CHORUS:
Go ahead and hate your Amneighbour, Bbgo ahead and cheat a frienFd
Do it in the name of Amheaven, Bbjustify it in the enFd
There won't be any trumpets Amblowin, Bbcome the judgement daFy
                      Bb         {rest}
On the bloody morning after......
One tin Bbsoldier rides away.F  Bb  
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
