[D]Oh the snowfakes fell in scilen[D/F#]ce
Over[Bm] Belleau Woo[A/C#]d that nigh[D]t
For a [G]Christmas truce had been [D]declared
B[A7sus]y both sides of the f[A7]ight
As we [D]lay there in our trench[D/F#]es
The[G] silence broke in two
By a German soldier s[D]inging
A [A7sus]song that we all knew[D] [A7sus]
[2]Though I did not know the language
The song was "Silent Night"
Then I heard my buddy whisper,
"All is calm, and all is bright"
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong
But I stood up in my trench
And I began to sing along
[3]
[Dsus2] Then[A7] across the frozen battlefield
Anoth[G]er's voice joined in[D]
Until [G]one by one each m[D/F#]an became
A sin[Em7]ger of the hym[Asus]n[A]
[2]Then I thought that I was dreaming
For right there in my sight
Stood the German soldier
'Neath the falling flakes of white
And raised his hand and smiled at me
As if he seemed to say
Here's hoping we both live
To see us find a better way
[3]Then the devil's clock struck midnight
And the skies lit up again
And the battlefield where heaven stood
Was blown to hell again
[2]But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's just beyond the fear
No Heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's for us to find it here
