[G] [D]
It was not a silent night There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman [G] cry In the alleyway [A] that night
On the streets of [D] Davidstown And the stable [Bm] was not clean
And the [D] [F#m] cobblestones were cold And little Mary [G] full of grace
With the tears [D] upon [A] her face And no mother's [D] hand hold
[A] It was a [D] labor of love It was a labor of pain
[A] Was a cold [Bm] sky above [D] For the girl on the [G] ground in the dark
Every beat of her [A] beautiful heart Was a labor of [D] love
Noble Joseph by her side Calloused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found On the streets of [A] Davidstown
In the middle of [D] the night So he held her [Bm] and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight [F#m] on his face But the baby [G] in the womb
He was the maker [A] of the moon He was the author [D] of the fate
That could make [A] the mountains move
