[Estrofa]
D                          D/F# 
Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence 
     Bm      A         D 
Over Belleau Wood that night 
      G                   D 
For a Christmas truce had been declared 
   A 
By both side of the fight 
      D                D/F# 
As we lay there in our trenches 
    G 
The silence broke in two 
                    D 
By a German soldier singing 
  A                D       A 
A song that we all knew
[Estrofa]
         D                D/F# 
Though I did not know the language 
    Bm        A      D 
The song was "Silent Night" 
       G              D 
Then I heard my buddy whisper, 
           A 
"All is calm and all is bright" 
         D                D/F# 
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me 
           G 
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong 
                     D 
But I stood up in my trench 
          A            D 
And I began to sing along
[Estribillo]
	  A 
Then across the frozen battlefield 
	G                  D 
Another's voice joined in 
      G               D/F# 
Until one by one each man became 
  Em            A 
A singer of the hymn
[Estrofa]
       D                  D/F# 
Then I thought that I was dreaming 
    Bm          A     D 
For right there in my sight 
G                D 
Stood the German soldier 
           A 
'Neath the falling flakes of white 
       D                   D/F# 
And he raised his hand and smiled at me 
 G 
As if he seemed to say 
                      D 
Here's hoping we both live 
          A             D 
To see us find a better way
[Estribillo]
         A 
Then the devil's clock struck midnight 
        G                D 
And the skies lit up again 
        G                 D/F# 
And the battlefield where heaven stood 
    Em             A 
Was blown to hell again
[Outro]
         D                D/F# 
But for just one fleeting moment 
    G 
The answer seemed so clear 
                 D 
Heaven's not beyond the clouds 
      A              Bm     A 
It's just beyond the fear 
    G                D 
No, heaven's not beyond the clouds 
         A             D 
It's for us to find it here
