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


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


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

C majorC                                             G+G

                                                  D MajorD
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me

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


Chorus:
C majorC                               G+G

As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me

We sang Silent Night all day long

We sang Silent Night all day long
