[D]
1915 on Christmas Day
On the Western Front the guns all [A] died away
And [G] lying in the modern [Bm] bags of sand
[Em] We heard a [A] German sing from [D] no man's land
He had a tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every note [A] we knew
[G] Sorry nor the living dead [Bm] undone
[Em] A German [A] sang of peace from [D] no man's land
They left their trenches and we left ours
Beneath thin hats the smile flew [A] like wildflowers
[G] With photos, cigarettes and [Bm] pots of wine
[Em] We built a [A] soldier's truce on [D] the front line
Their singer was a lad of twenty-one
We begged another song [A] before the door
[G] And sitting in the mud and [Bm] blood and fear
[Em] He sang [A] again the song all [D] long to hear
Silent night, no cannons roar
Our King is born of peace [A] forevermore
[G]
Walls calm, [Em] walls bright, all brothers [Bm] hand in hand
[Em] In [A] 1915 [D] no man's land
And in the morning all the guns moved in the rain
And we killed them and they killed [A] us again
[G] At night they charged, we fought them [Bm] hand to hand
[Em] And I killed the [A] boy that sang in [D] no man's land
Silent night, no cannons roar
Our King is born of peace [A] forevermore
[G]
Walls calm, [Em] walls bright, all brothers [Bm] hand in hand
[Em] And that young [A] soldier sings
[Em] And the song of [A] peace still rings
[Em] Know the captains and [A] all the kings
[Em] Built [A] no [D] man's land
Sleep [A] in heavenly [D] peace
