[G]
[C]
[G] [F#]
[D] [Am] [G]
There's a pine tree in a window in a house on [D] a hill
With a treetop angel sitting perfectly [G] still
She's watching the shoppers walk through [C] the snow
With her arms [G] full of treasures [D] and her heart's all [G] a-blowing
[Am] [G] [C] We held hands and stared at the lights on [G] the tree
As if Christmas wasn't finished just for you and [D] for me
[G] When the angel on the treetop requested [C] a song
We sang [G] silent night [D]
all [G] day long
There's a family that's gathering in some [C] living [D]
room
Dinner on the table that's been cooking [G] since noon
The stockings on the mantel are hanging [C] with care
[G] While everybody [D] is saying [G] a prayer
We [Am] [Bm] [C] held hands and stared at the lights on [G] the tree
As if Christmas wasn't finished just for you and [D] for me
And [G] when the angel on the treetop requested [C] a song
We sang [G] silent night [D]
all [G] day long
[Dm] [G] [C]
[Am] [G]
[Bm] [D] [G]
There's a room out there somewhere with a woman [D] in a chair
With memories of childhood still lingering [G] there
How pretty the paper, the lights and [C] the snow
How precious [G] those memories [D] from long, long [G] ago
[C] We held hands and stared at the lights [G] on the tree
As if Christmas wasn't finished just for you and [D] for me
And [G] when the angel on the treetop requested [C] a song
We sang silent [G] night [D]
all [G] day long
When [C] the angel on the treetop requested a [G]
song
We sang silent night [D] all [G] day long
