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
