 Oh little town of Bethlehem
      C majorC       G+G  D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
Looks like another silent night
G+G     D MajorD         E minorEm
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
    C majorC         G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
A augmentedA giant star lights up the sky

And while you're lying in the dark
   C majorC       G+G    D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
There shines an everlasting light
G+G    D MajorD         E minorEm
For the King has left His throne

And is sleeping in a manger tonight - tonight

As a city with no room for its King

While you were sleeping  -  While you were sleeping

 Mary shivers in the cold

Trying to keep the Savior warm
G+G       D MajorD     E minorEm        C majorC
Born among the animals, wrapped in dirty rags
    G+G           D MajorD     E minorEm        C majorC
Because there was no room for Him in the world He came to save.

As a city with no room for its King

While you were sleeping  -  While you were sleeping

 As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
       C majorC         G+G   D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
That save the trees and kill the children
G+G        D MajorD      E minorEm
 And while we're lying in the dark
     C majorC           G+G     D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky

 For the Bridegroom has returned
    C majorC         G+G       D MajorD      E minorEm  C majorC
And has carried His bride away in the night - in the night
