[Intro]
G C G D G

[Verse 1]
D                        G                      DThere's a pine tree in a window in a house on a hill
                                        GWith a tree top angel sitting perfectly still
                            D                CShe's watching the shoppers walk through the snow
G                                           D               GWith their arms full of treasures and their hearts all aglow

[Chorus]
C                                             GWe held hands and stared at the lights on the tree
                                                  DAs if Christmas was invented just for you and for me
G                                         CWhen the angel on the treetop requested a song
G                    D       G    GWe sang Silent Night all day long

[Verse 2]
D                       G                        DThere's a family that's gathering in some living room
                                              GDinner on the table that's been cooking since noon
                            D                CThe stockings on the mantle are hanging with care
G                D           GWhile every body is saying a prayer

[Chorus]
C                                             GWe held hands and stared at the lights on the tree
                                                  DAs if Christmas was invented just for you and for me
G                             D           CWhen the angel on the treetop requested a song
G                    D       GWe sang Silent Night all day long

[Verse 3]
G                                                    DThere's a room out there somewhere with a woman in a chair
                                           GWith memories of childhood still lingering there
                      D                  CHow pretty the paper, the lights and the snow
                   G           D          GHow precious those memories of long long ago

[Chorus]
C                               GWe held hands and stared at the lights on the tree
                                                  DAs if Christmas was invented just for you and for me
G                             D           CWhen the angel on the treetop requested a song
G                    D       GWe sang Silent Night all day long

C                                         GWhen the angel on the treetop requested a song
        D      GWe sang Silent Night all day long
