verse 1 
D                        G                      D 
There's a pine tree in a window in a house on a hill 
                                        G 
With a tree top angel sitting perfectly still 
                            D                C 
She's watching the shoppers walk through the snow 
G                                           D               G 
With their arms full of treasures and their hearts all aglow 

 
C                                             G 
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree 
                                                  D 
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me 
G                                         C 
When the angel on the treetop requested a song 
G                    D       G    G 
We sang Silent Night all day long 

verse 2 
D                       G                        D 
There's a family that's gathering in some living room 
                                              G 
Dinner on the table that's been cooking since noon 
                            D                C 
The stockings on the mantle are hanging with care 
G                D           G 
While every body is saying a prayer 

 
C                                             G 
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree 
                                                  D 
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me 
G                             D           C 
When the angel on the treetop requested a song 
G                    D       G 
We sang Silent Night all day long

verse 3 
G                                                    D 
There's a room out there somewhere with a woman in a chair 
                                           G 
With memories of childhood still lingering there 
                      D                  C 
How pretty the paper, the lights and the snow 
                   G           D          G 
How precious those memories of long long ago 


C                               G 
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree 
                                                  D 
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me 
G                             D           C 
When the angel on the treetop requested a song 
G                    D       G 
We sang Silent Night all day long

We sang Silent Night all day long
