[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
