[Verso 1]
 
G                          Am 
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn 
    D                       G 
The cloak of the soldier is withered and worn 
    Em            G             Am 
But what child is this that was poverty-born 
    D7                 G 
The peace of Christmas Day 


[Refrão]

    G                     Am 
The branch that bears the bright holly 
    D7                 C      G 
The dove that rests in yonder tree 
               Em         Am 
The light that shines for all to see 
    D7                 G 
The peace of Christmas Day 


[Verso 2]
 
G                               Am 
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years 
  D                       G 
A promise that silenced a thousand fears 
  Em             G         Am 
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears 
    D7                 G 
The peace of Christmas Day 


[Refrão]

    G                     Am 
The branch that bears the bright holly 
    D7                 C      G 
The dove that rests in yonder tree 
               Em         Am 
The light that shines for all to see 
    D7                 G 
The peace of Christmas Day 


[Verso 3]
 
G                      Am 
Add all the grief that people may bear 
D                        G 
Total the strife and the troubles and care 
Em          G           Am 
Put them in columns and leave them right there 
    D7                 G 
The peace of Christmas Day

The dove that rests in yonder tree 
               Em         Am 
The light that shines for all to see 
    D7                 G 
The peace of Christmas Day 
    G                     Am 
The branch that bears the bright holly 
    D7                 C      G 
The dove that rests in yonder tree 
               Em         Am 
The light that shines for all to see
