D
[Verse 1]
D1915 on Christmas Day
On the western front the guns all died Aaway
And Glying in the mud on bags of Bmsand
We Emheard a German Asing from no man's Dland
He Dhad tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every note we Aknew
GSoaring o'er the the living dead and Bmdamned
The EmGerman sang of Apeace from no man's Dland
[Verse 2]
DThey left their trenches and we left ours
Beneath tin hats smiles bloomed like wild Aflowers
With Gphotos, cigarettes, and pots of Bmwine
We Embult a soldier's Atruce on the front Dline
Their Dsinger was a lad of 21
We begged another song before the Adawn
And Gsitting in the mud and blood and Bmfear
He Emsang again the Asong all longed to Dhear
[Chorus]
DSilent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermoreA  
All's Gcalm, all's Embright
All brothers hand in Bmhand
In Em19 and A15 in no man's Dland
[Verse 3]
DAnd in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain
And we killed them and they killed us Aagain
GAt night they charged we fought them hand to Bmhand
And I Emkilled the boy that Asang in no man's Dland
[Chorus]
DSilent night no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for Aevermore
All's Gcalm, all's Embright
All brothers hand in Bmhand
And Emthat young soldier Asings
And the Emsong of peace still Arings
Though the Emcaptains and all the Akings
Built Emno Aman's Dland
DSleep in Aheavenly Dpeace.

[Verse 1]

1915 on Christmas Day

On the western front the guns all died away

G Bm

And lying in the mud on bags of sand

Em A D

We heard a German sing from no man's land

He had tenor voice so pure and true

The words were strange but every note we knew

G Bm

Soaring o'er the the living dead and damned

Em A D

The German sang of peace from no man's land

[Verse 2]

They left their trenches and we left ours

Beneath tin hats smiles bloomed like wild flowers

G Bm

With photos, cigarettes, and pots of wine

Em A D

We bult a soldier's truce on the front line

Their singer was a lad of 21

We begged another song before the dawn

G Bm

And sitting in the mud and blood and fear

Em A D

He sang again the song all longed to hear

[Chorus]

Silent night, no cannons roar

A king is born of peace for evermore

G Em

All's calm, all's bright

All brothers hand in hand

Em A D

In 19 and 15 in no man's land

[Verse 3]

And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain

And we killed them and they killed us again

G Bm

At night they charged we fought them hand to hand

Em A D

And I killed the boy that sang in no man's land

[Chorus]

Silent night no cannons roar

A king is born of peace for evermore

G Em

All's calm, all's bright

All brothers hand in hand

Em A

And that young soldier sings

Em A

And the song of peace still rings

Em A

Though the captains and all the kings

Em A D

Built no man's land

D A D

Sleep in heavenly peace.
