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
