[Intro]
E A/E B/E A/E
E A/E B/E A/E

[Verse 1]
E       A/E
An angel came down
  B/E   A/E E
One night to the earth
        A/E
A mission from God
  B/E  A/E    E
To find out the worth
       A/E
Of everything that
  B/E   A/E   E
His children had done
         A/E
Since that winter night
  B/E   A/E E
The birth of His son

[Chorus]
      A/C#       A
And then a sound filled the night
    E/B B   E
In the cold winter air
      A/C#     A
And in the midst of his flight
    E/B B    E
It was holding him there
     A/C#       A
And as he looked toward the earth
    E/B  B    E
For the source of this sound
    A/C#    A
On that cold winter night
    E/B B    E
It was pulling him down
A/E B/E A/E E

[Verse 2]
  E        A/E
To bring something back
   B/E  A/E   E
This angel was told
         A/E
That no one could touch
  B/E  A/E    E
But angels could hold
      A/E
So on that night
   B/E   A/E    E
When the sky had cleared
       A/E
Among all the stars
  B/E A/E E
An angel appeared

[Chorus]
      A/C#       A
And then a sound filled the night
    E/B B   E
In the cold winter air
      A/C#     A
And in the midst of his flight
    E/B B    E
It was holding him there
     A/C#        A
And as he looked towards the earth
    E/B  B    E
For the source of this sound
    A/C#    A
On that cold winter night
    E/B B    E
It was pulling him down

[Instrumental]
B E A E A E B E B E

[Outro]
      A/C#       A
And then a sound filled the night
    E/B B    E
In the cold winter air
      A/C#     A
And in the midst of his flight
    E/B B    E
It was holding him there
     A/C#        A
And as he looked towards the earth
    E/B  B    E
For the source of this sound
    A/C#    A
On that cold winter night
    E/B B    E  A/E B/E A/E E
It was pulling him down
