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