1915 on Christmas Day
On the Western Front the guns all [A] died away
[Bm] bags of sand
German [A] sing from [D] no man's land
He had a tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every [A] note we knew
nor the living [Bm] dead and damned
[Em] A German sang of peace from [D] no man's land
On the Western Front the guns all [A] died away
[Bm] bags of sand
German [A] sing from [D] no man's land
He had a tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every [A] note we knew
nor the living [Bm] dead and damned
[Em] A German sang of peace from [D] no man's land

1915 on Christmas Day _
On the Western Front the guns all [A] died away
[G] And lying in the modern [Bm] bags of sand
We [Em] heard a German [A] sing from [D] no man's land
He had a tenor voice so pure and true
_ The words were strange but every [A] note we knew
_ _ [G] Sorry nor the living [Bm] dead and damned
[Em] A German sang of peace from [D] no man's land
_ _ _ _ They left their trenches and we left ours
_ Beneath thin hearts the smiles bloomed [A] like _ wildflowers
[G] With photos, cigarettes and [Bm] pots of _ wine
[Em] We built a soldier's truce on [D] the front line
Their singer was a lad of twenty-one
We begged another song [A] before the dawn
[G] I'm sitting in the mud and [Bm] blood and fear
[Em] He sang again the song all [D] long to hear _ _ _
Silent night, no cannons roar
Our king is born of peace [A] _
forevermore
[G] Walls clump, [Em] halls bright, all brothers [Bm] stand in hand
[Em] In 1915 in [D] no man's land _ _ _ _
And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain
And we killed them and they killed [A] us again
[G] At night they charged, we fought them [Bm] hand to hand
[Em] And I killed the [A] boy that sang in [D] no man's land _ _ _
Silent night, no cannons roar
Our king is born of peace [A] _
forevermore
[G] Walls clump, [Em] halls bright, all brothers [Bm] stand in _ hand
[Em] And that young soldier sings
And the song of peace still rings
For the captains and all the kings
Built no _ [D] man's _ land _ _
Sleep in heavenly peace _ _ _ _ _
