Capo 3rd Fret (All Chords Relative to Capo)
VERSE
TEmhrough Cthe smokGe filled night silence rose from both sides
Across a D/F#bloody battlefield
It Emwas a cold Christmas CEve in 1914
GTo those wD/F#ho were there, it seemed unreal
As Bmtime was still the spirit moved the Emsoldiers
To Clay dEmown theCir arms and raise thEmeir voice in song
And Cpretend for a while the war was DsusoverD  
CHORUS
If it could Ghappen thDen, it could Emhappen Bmagain
A Cworld torn apGart could Amjoin hands and Dhearts
To celebGrate his Dbirth and pEmeace on this BmEarth
If for Cone magic nGight we could Amfind again a reason not to figDht
                Cadd9/  B                         C  Cadd9/  B  C  
Maybe there's  a   chance;   This time it might last.
VERSE
As opposing sides approached through broken words they spoke
It wasn't long before they felt at ease
They shared their cigarettes, what they had they used as gifts
They didn't feel like enemies
With candles lit they stood shoulder to shoulder
And on that field they found true common ground
And as they prayed they dreamed the war was over
CHORUS
If it could happen then, it could happen again
A world torn apart could join hands and hearts
To celebrate his birth and peace on this Earth
If for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fight
Maybe there's a chance; This time it might last.
If it could Ghappen thDen, it could Emhappen agCain.
