[F] [C] [Dm] [F]
[C] Listen [G] children to a [Am] story that was written long [C] ago
[F] About a kingdom [Em] on a mountain [G] and a valley far below
[C] On the [G] mountain was a [Am] treasure buried [C] deep beneath the [F] stone
And the [C] valley people [Dm] swore they'd have it for their [C] very own

Do it in the [Em]
[F] sun, you can turn the fire [C] empty in
There won't be a [Em]
[F] [C] judgment day on the bloody [F] moon
And after [C] one tenth told you, wipe your way

All the [C] secrets of our [Dm] mountain, all the riches [C] buried there
[C#] Now the valley [G#] cried with anger, [A#m] mount your horses, draw your swords
[F#] And they killed [C#] the mountain people [D#m] so they won their judgment war
[C#] Now they could [G#] decide the treasure [A#m] and the mountain darkened with
