Start with a D on the 5th fret for the opening 
 
           D              D/F# 
Oh the snowfakes fell in silence 
     Bm       A         D 
Over Belleau Wood that night 
      G                        D 
For a Christmas truce had been declared 
   Em7               A7  A7sus           
By both sides of the fight 
 
       D                D/F# 
As we lay there in our trenches 
     G               G 
The silence broke in two 
     G              D  
By a German soldier singing 
  A               D 
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, 
         Em7             A7sus  A7 
"All is calm, and all is bright" 
          D               D/F# 
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me 
           G            G 
'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                 A 
Then across the frozen battlefield 
G                     D 
Another's voice joined in 
      G               D 
Until one by one each man became  
   Em7           A7sus  A7  A7sus 
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 
Em7                           A7sus  A7 
'Neath the falling flakes of white 
 
    D                   D/F# 
And raised his hand and smiled at me 
   G               G 
As if he seemed to say 
       G              D 
Here's hoping we both live 
          A             D 
To see us find a better way 
 
         A                    A 
Then the devil's clock struck midnight  
         G           D 
And the skies lit up again 
        G                 D 
And the battlefield where heaven stood 
     Em7             A7sus  A A7sus  
Was blown to  hell again 
 
         D             D/F# 
But for just one fleeting moment 
     G                G 
The answer seemed so clear 
G             D 
Heaven's not beyond the clouds 
    Em7              Bm    A      
It's just beyond the fear 
   G              D 
No Heaven's not beyond the clouds 
        Em7      A 
Its for us to find it here
