Bb F Bb One tin 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.
