DD Piano Chord 
                          D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence
BmBm Piano Chord 
      AA Piano Chord 
         DD Piano Chord 

Over Belleau Wood that night
GG Piano Chord 
                   DD Piano Chord 

For a Christmas truce had been declared
AA Piano Chord 

By both side of the fight
DD Piano Chord 
                D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

As we lay there in our trenches
GG Piano Chord 

The silence broke in two
DD Piano Chord 

By a German soldier singing
AA Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 
       AA Piano Chord 

A song that we all knew

DD Piano Chord 
                D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

Though I did not know the language
BmBm Piano Chord 
        AA Piano Chord 
      DD Piano Chord 

The song was "Silent Night"
GG Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 

Then I heard my buddy whisper,
AA Piano Chord 

"All is calm and all is bright"
DD Piano Chord 
                D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

Then the fear and doubt surrounded me
GG Piano Chord 

'Cause I'd die if I was wrong
DD Piano Chord 

But I stood up in my trench
AA Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 

And I began to sing along

AA Piano Chord 

Then across the frozen battlefield
GG Piano Chord 
                  DD Piano Chord 

Another's voice joined in
GG Piano Chord 
               D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

Until one by one each man became
EmEm Piano Chord 
            AA Piano Chord 

A singer of the hymn



DD Piano Chord 
                  D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

Then I thought that I was dreaming
BmBm Piano Chord 
          AA Piano Chord 
     DD Piano Chord 

For right there in my sight
GG Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

Stood the German soldier
AA Piano Chord 

'Neath the falling flakes of white
DD Piano Chord 
                   D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

And he raised his hand and smiled at me
GG Piano Chord 

As if he seemed to say
DD Piano Chord 

Here's hoping we both live
AA Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 

To see us find a better way

AA Piano Chord 

Then the devil's clock struck midnight
GG Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

And the skies lit up again
GG Piano Chord 
                 D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

And the battlefield where heaven stood
EmEm Piano Chord 
             AA Piano Chord 

Was blown to hell again

DD Piano Chord 
                D/F#D/F# Piano Chord 

But for just one fleeting moment
GG Piano Chord 

The answer seemed so clear
DD Piano Chord 

Heaven's not beyond the clouds
AA Piano Chord 
              BmBm Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 

It's just beyond the fear
GG Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

No, heaven's not beyond the clouds
AA Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 

It's for us to find it here
