            Dsus             D   
Oh the snowfakes fell in silence  
      G                  A   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  
 
(4 BEATS OF SILENCE) 
  
        Dsus                   D   
Then I thought that I was dreaming  
     G                   A 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              A   G   
The answer seemed so clear  
 G                      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
