"Belleau Wood" Written by Joe Henry and Garth Brooks

Performed by Garth Brooks

Transcribed by Jonathan Kerr and Jamie Knight

Song:Belleau Wood

Album: SEVENS

Start with a D on the 5th fret for the opening

D D/F#

Oh the snowfakes fell in silence

Bm A D

Over Belleau Wood that night

G D

For a Christmas truce had been declared

Em7 A7 A7sus

By both sides of the fight

D D/F#

As we lay there in our trenches

G G

The silence broke in two

G D

By a German soldier singing

A D

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,

Em7 A7sus A7

"All is calm, and all is bright"

D D/F#

Then the fear and doubt surrounded me

G G

'Cause I'd die if I was wrong

G D

But I stood up in my trench

A D

And I began to sing along

A A

Then across the frozen battlefield

G D

Another's voice joined in

G D

Until one by one each man became

Em7 A7sus A7 A7sus

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

Em7 A7sus A7

'Neath the falling flakes of white

D D/F#

And raised his hand and smiled at me

G G

As if he seemed to say

G D

Here's hoping we both live

A D

To see us find a better way

A A

Then the devil's clock struck midnight

G D

And the skies lit up again

G D

And the battlefield where heaven stood

Em7 A7sus A A7sus

Was blown to hell again

D D/F#

But for just one fleeting moment

G G

The answer seemed so clear

G D

Heaven's not beyond the clouds

Em7 Bm A

It's just beyond the fear

G D

No Heaven's not beyond the clouds

Em7 A

Its for us to find it here
