Silent night, holy night [D#m] All [C#]
is calm, [F#] all is bright

_ _ _ _ Silent night, _ _ holy night _ [D#m] All [C#]
is calm, _ [F#] all is bright
_ [B] _ Round yon virgin, [F#] _ mother and child _ [B] _ _
Holy infant [F#] so tender and mild
_ [B] _ Sleep [C#] in heavenly [F#] peace Sleep _ _ _ _ in heavenly peace _
_ _ _ Hey Charlie, _ _ _ _ [A#] baby I'm pregnant And [D#m] I've been living on [B] 9th Street here
[F#] _ _
Right above this [A#] dirty bookstore [D#m] off Euclid Avenue
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ Believe it or [A#] not I stopped taking dope and I [D#m] quit drinking whiskey
_ [B] _ [F#m] _ _
[G#m] And man, my old [F#] man, he plays trombone [B] He works [C#] out at the track
[F#]
And _ _ _ he says that he loves me But [D#m] no, it's not his [B] baby
_ _ [D#m] And he says [F#] he's gonna raise [A#] him up Just [D#m] like he would [F#] his own [B] son
_ _ _ [F#] And [A#] he gave me a ring that [F#] was worn by his mother
_ _ Oh, it takes me out dancing Putting hair [C#] every Saturday night
_ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ And Charlie, I still [A#] think about you, man [D#m] Every time I pass [B] a filling station
_ _ [F#] _ _
On account of all the [A#] grease you used to wear in your [D#m] hair
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] And baby, I still got [A#] that record [D#m] Of Little Anthony [F#] and the Imperials
_ I'm going out of my head _ [B] over you [F#] Out of my head [F#m] over you
I'm out [F#] of my head [F#m] over you [G#m] After all these [B] years
But [D#] _ [F#] _ _
_ [A#] you know, someone stole my [D#m] record player _ [F#] _ [G#m] Oh, for Christ's [B] sakes
_ How [F#] do you like that?
_ _ _ [A#] _
_ [F#] And Charlie almost went crazy, baby _ [G#m] After Mario [F#] got busted
[B] So I went back to [C#] Omaha To [F#] live with my [A#] folks
[D#m] And everyone [F#] that I used to know Was either [F#m] dead or in prison _
[G#m] So I came back to [F#] _ Minneapolis this time I think I'm gonna [C#] stay
_ [F#] And _ _ Charlie, [A#] baby, I think I'm happy now
At least [F#] was for the first time [B] since my accident
[F#] I _ [A#] wish I had all the money we [F#] used to spend [B] on dope _ _
[F#] _ _ [A#] I think I'd buy me a used car a lot
_ [D#m] Maybe I don't think I'd ever sell any of them _ _
Probably just [G#m] drive me a different [F#] car every day _
_ [B] Depending on [C#] how [F#] I feel
_ _ [F#] _
_ _ Charlie, [A#] for Christ's sake, [D#m] do you wanna know the truth of [B] it? _ _
[F#] _ _ _ Maybe I ain't [A#] got no husband He [D#m] don't play the trombone, neither
_ [F#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ I [A#] gotta borrow money, see I [F#] gotta pay this lawyer
And Charlie, by the way, _ they say I'm gonna be [G#m] eligible for parole
_ [B] Come _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [F#] [G#m] Valentine's _ Day
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Silent night, _ _ holy night
_ All is calm and all is bright
[B] Round yon virgin, [F#] mother and child
_ _ [B] _ Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep [E] in heavenly peace _ _ _
_ Sleep in _
[C#] heavenly [F#] peace _ _
