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

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

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

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

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

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
