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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

We sang Silent Night all day long
